Good Omens - Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman

I was a little apprehensive when beginning this book. After being disappointed with the previous book I read, I hoped that this would be good. I didn't think so though. It was slow and fussy with the characters. So much more could have been made of the angels and devils. There were things that reminded me of a couple of films I've seen (eg. Dogma) It was just generally disappointing. And I was hoping that the ending would be a little more interesting, Basically it faded out rather than ending. It had some redeeming features - the four horsemen of the apocalypse turning up on motorbikes for example. These moments certainly made it worth trawling through the book, but I still think I could have better spent my time doing other things! Like reading a book I'm interested in. Still - at least by getting to the end of the book I have managed to complete it - I hate leaving books unread!
