If you like listening to dramatization of stories or thinking you are in the theater watching a performance then 'Good Omens' is the best for you to check out。 A lot of voice actors awesome with their roles in the book and keeps you wanting to more， the plot is interesting and funny。 If you like listening to dramatization of stories or thinking you are in the theater watching a performance then 'Good Omens' is the best for you to check out。 A lot of voice actors awesome with their roles in the book and keeps you wanting to more， the plot is interesting and funny。 。。。more

All this really did was make me want to reread the book/re-watch the movie; They are both far better written， after all。 I did like the concept art and a few of the interviews though。

Zey ，

If you want to deep dive into what goes on behind the scenes， how much effort they put on， the cinematography， lighting， etc。， or maybe you just want a collectible because the ineffable duo got you SO hooked。 This one is for you。

I had a tone of fun looking at the behind the scens pictures and reading about the characters。 I love the little interviews where we can conect with the awesome actors who was a part of this beautiful story。 I wish that we had gotten a bit more information about some scenes but we can't have everything， right？ If you're a big fan of the series and wish to know more about what happenns on a film set from different point of views I would deffinetly recomend this book。 I had a tone of fun looking at the behind the scens pictures and reading about the characters。 I love the little interviews where we can conect with the awesome actors who was a part of this beautiful story。 I wish that we had gotten a bit more information about some scenes but we can't have everything， right？ If you're a big fan of the series and wish to know more about what happenns on a film set from different point of views I would deffinetly recomend this book。 。。。more

An absolutely beautiful book filled with gorgeous photographs， artwork and detailed background。 A fabulous addition to the Good Omens memorabilia。

This is a great book and indeed an excellent companion to the brilliant series that is Good Omens！ It has lots of beautiful pictures， behind the scenes anecdotes and background information， which will delight every fan。 Even if you already watched some bonus material and informative YouTube clips， you'll learn something new here and you'll be amazed by all the thoughts， planning， creativity and sheer manpower that went into making Good Omens。 Why am I giving it only four stars then？ Well。。。 It i This is a great book and indeed an excellent companion to the brilliant series that is Good Omens！ It has lots of beautiful pictures， behind the scenes anecdotes and background information， which will delight every fan。 Even if you already watched some bonus material and informative YouTube clips， you'll learn something new here and you'll be amazed by all the thoughts， planning， creativity and sheer manpower that went into making Good Omens。 Why am I giving it only four stars then？ Well。。。 It is obvious that this book was written and put together before anyone had seen the final result。 This book ends after the shoot was completed。 That does give it a documentary behind the scenes style， which is good。 But it also means that you won't learn a lot about the work that happened after the filming was done - e。g。 editing and CGI。 And there is one chapter in particular that takes a close look at scenes that didn't make the final cut， which is a little confusing。 Nonetheless if you are a Good Omens fan， you'll enjoy this book and I can wholeheartedly recommend it。 。。。more

Interesting and wonderful look behind the scenes of a really good tv programme。

I don't generally read companion books to TV series， but I received this as a gift and enjoyed it much more than I expected to！ The photos of the series and the set are delightful and this makes a wonderful coffee table book。 I learned a lot about filmmaking and was constantly impressed with stories about how they filmed challenging scenes， such as burning down a book store or making a realistic waterfall during a drought。 The interviews with the cast were fun， and the love Neil showed for the s I don't generally read companion books to TV series， but I received this as a gift and enjoyed it much more than I expected to！ The photos of the series and the set are delightful and this makes a wonderful coffee table book。 I learned a lot about filmmaking and was constantly impressed with stories about how they filmed challenging scenes， such as burning down a book store or making a realistic waterfall during a drought。 The interviews with the cast were fun， and the love Neil showed for the series and honoring Terry Pratchett's dying wish were incredibly touching。 。。。more

Personally， couldn't ask for anything more from a companion to the show。 Gorgeous pictures， input from all kinds of key crew members， lengthy cast interviews。 To top it off， Rob Wilkins' section at the close of the book is so touching。 Personally， couldn't ask for anything more from a companion to the show。 Gorgeous pictures， input from all kinds of key crew members， lengthy cast interviews。 To top it off， Rob Wilkins' section at the close of the book is so touching。 。。。more

I didn't expect to not love it， so yeah。 There were very few small things， like calling Pollution 'she' （even though the androgyny was mentioned and talked about） and mixing up who's done or said something。 But overall it was very gorgeous。 I didn't expect to not love it， so yeah。 There were very few small things， like calling Pollution 'she' （even though the androgyny was mentioned and talked about） and mixing up who's done or said something。 But overall it was very gorgeous。 。。。more

I honestly had not believed I could love this series even more that I initially did， but thanks to this TV companion book， "Good Omens" has cemented its title as my ultimate favorite series EVER！ *chef's kiss* The interview bits and BTS pictures just made me appreciate every minute detail of this audio-visual masterpiece even more。 I'm re-watching it for the third time after going deep DEEP down the rabbit hole of Good Omens fanfics， meme vids， fan art， and such LOL。 I honestly had not believed I could love this series even more that I initially did， but thanks to this TV companion book， "Good Omens" has cemented its title as my ultimate favorite series EVER！ *chef's kiss* The interview bits and BTS pictures just made me appreciate every minute detail of this audio-visual masterpiece even more。 I'm re-watching it for the third time after going deep DEEP down the rabbit hole of Good Omens fanfics， meme vids， fan art， and such LOL。 。。。more

Steve Mitchell ，

It’s an okay book that left me a bit underwhelmed。 I was hoping to have the Easter eggs that I’d missed revealed， but it hardly touched upon those that I actually spotted。 It is obvious that everyone working on the TV show really wanted to produce something special - and they did - but I felt that this book could have been so much better。 Worth a look for the many photos though

Brandi ，

A detailed， super-interesting companion to my favorite miniseries。 I’ve watch it three times already in the past year。 It’s genius。 And heartwarming。 This book does a deep dive into each character and setting， and it has beautiful photos。

Wesley ，

This is a very beautiful book that has a lot of behind the scenes information and some very HQ pictures from Good Omens。 It still seems to have been brought together a bit hastily as there are quite a few minor typos and mistakes that I found a little distracting， but I am incredibly pedantic especially when it comes to my special interests。 I was also a little sad to read about all the waste that came about during filming as they actually destroyed their sets/props for realism - normally not so This is a very beautiful book that has a lot of behind the scenes information and some very HQ pictures from Good Omens。 It still seems to have been brought together a bit hastily as there are quite a few minor typos and mistakes that I found a little distracting， but I am incredibly pedantic especially when it comes to my special interests。 I was also a little sad to read about all the waste that came about during filming as they actually destroyed their sets/props for realism - normally not something I care much about， but in this case included some props that were pretty expensive/potentially priceless to some。 But otherwise I enjoyed it & think this is great for any major fan of the show to have。 。。。more
