-But in the dark days o 1990 Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman decided to co-write a book - /Good Omens/, which itself will be a parody of the /Omen/ horror movie.
-It was quite the popular movie back then, but nowaydays it may be a bit forgotten.

-Pratchet & Gaiman seem like a great combo.
-The first one is a great story /teller/, while the later tend to privide better /stories/.
-They are also both imagitable authors of speculative fiction.

 The end of times in near.
-But, unlike the movie, it is not be stopped by a detective but by an unlikely pair of an angel and and a daemon.
-None of the wants to see the apocalypse, so they join forces to stop the antichrist - who turns out to be quite a nice kid.

-for me a computer nerd, the process of writing such book fascinates me.
-It's 1990 so no cooperative tooling exists yet, therefor Terry and Neil sent discettes to each other.

 How cool is that!

 I think this is an honest account of the process of writing Good Omens.
-It was fairly easy to keep track of because of the way we sent disks to one another, and because I was Keeper of the Official Master Copy I can say that I wrote a bit over two thirds of Good Omens.

 and it shows.
-/Good Omens/ does not read like joint venture, it's distincly Pratchett.
-You get Gaimaon love for the macabre and over-convoluted story, but if he was removed the cover I woud have never guessed.

 There is a scene of mass shooting, which is something fitting /American Gods/  but it's written like we're in Ankh-Morpork.
 
 It's not part of the /Discworld/ world, but on the surface it could have easily been. 
-The humor is there, the unlreated description which turn out be introduction to related thingys and so on.
-But the world of /Discworld/ is more interesteing, crazier.
-In that series we've got insane world and insane characters which try to remain sane.

+But the world of /Discworld/ is far more interesting, crazier.
+In that series, we've got an insane world and insane characters which try to remain sane.
 /Good Omen/ however happens in our, boring world and most of the characters are "normal", but they act insane.
-But /Discworld/ has its own multiverse, so it fits.
 
-But since it's got two autors, it a bit on the longer side.
-Just enough to overstay its welcome.
-Pratchett is a master of the word, but his stories are rarely interesting - and I was never a fan of Gaiman.
-I didn't found what is told here much interesting, I was not curious how they will stop the apocalypse.

 Nothing unexpected happened.
 If it was 2/3 of the current size, if some of the crust was removed, it would be a better book, as the general idea is very cool.
-But even at current state it's very enjoyable and well worth the read /if/ you like Pratchett's style.
