Summary
Finalist for the 2023 AUDIE AWARDS® for Audio Drama and Fantasy
A brand-new full-cast audio production of Good Omens, the internationally beloved novel and collaboration by bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Starring Michael Sheen as Aziraphale, David Tennant as Crowley and Rebecca Front as the Narrator.
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.
So, the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan.
Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon - both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle - are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.
And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist....
Don't miss Season 2 of Good Omens, coming soon to Amazon Prime Video.

That's the way to do it!!
A big thank you and kudos to Headline for this excellent new production of Good Omens.
Whatever voices you have in your head, work. When you have someone reading it then often, it doesn't.
This is the way all audio-books should be done: unabridged but with a cast so you don't get men who sound like women, women who sound like men and children who sound like adults pretending to be children-and a lot of silly voices.
It also means you can do away with all the 'Said XXX.' which can be very distracting sometimes. You have a natural conversation and you can tell who everyone is without exaggerated or silly voices.
They should be recorded like putting on a play. Assemble a cast, let them rehearse together and then do the production.
So often recordings clearly have been made on one run through because the intonation is wrong or the reader has started with the wrong accent and it's clear they only start to really get the characters after they are a fair way in. Having a troop also avoids those times where vocabulary just isn't up to pronunciation, and more people means more insight.
This is a brilliantly funny book and a big thanks once again to Headline for choosing a cast that really understands comedy.
You must have people that know how to deliver a funny line to get the best out of it.
Especially with comedy where there's a big difference between a reading and a performance.
A bad reading just kills all the comedy
I haven't got much to say about the book. It's beloved by so many people and so famous.
It's probably one of a kind. Wickedly funny, clever, challenging. Just a complete all round delight.
What a collaboration! Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. As Neil says in the preamble: a couple of mates having fun. Boy, does that come across! Just so much fun. But such beautifully crafted fun.
This is a production worthy of such a good book.
You don't necessarily need big names though, and there are literally thousands of good actors who could do a good job.
Please take note Penguin.

Fantastic performance of a favourite story
I have loved Good Omens since I first read it many, many, years ago. The recent TV production was good but I missed certain parts of the story (such as the other four motorcyclists of the apocalypse) so to find a full cast audio production was a joyful moment indeed. David Tennant and Michael Sheen as the voices of Crowley and Aziraphale are every bit as wonderful as they were in the TV version and the rest of the cast are fabulous too.
Highly recommended!

Nothing compared to the other adaptations
i was really, really excited about this, given how it features cast from the television show. However, it's full of production errors (repeating words, skipping/missing bits, etc) and poor performances (other-than Tennant). AVOID, unless you are a Good Omens completion, like I am.

Unexpectedly wonderful
I’ve loved Terry Pratchett novels for years but only recently heard of this and wasn’t quite sure. It’s marvellous— the storyline, the humour, the humanity and the performances. I will be listening again.
Edit: After listening to this I watched Good Omens on Prime and it is absolutely faithful to the book. Quite brilliant.

Such a brilliant and fun listen
Loved the story!! Would definitely recommend the book, especially for fans of the show as Tenant and Sheen’s narration really adds to the comedic situation.

It’s beautiful
The performances are flawless and the voices fit the characters perfectly. The novel in itself is brilliant, but we already knew that.

As always
Captivating, sharp and incredibly well acted (no surprises there). This story is a whirlwind of a tale! Upon first reading, it may seem that this story is a one to,e read, but I found myself returning to it in hard times.

one of my favorite books since forever
still one of my favorite books, and the cast recording doesn't disappoint! David and Michael are the BEST Crowley & Aziraphale.

If you love the show, you will love this full audio cast
The story itself is so entertaining and such a fun take on the end of the world!
David Tennant and MICHEAL Sheen still sparkle as Crowley and Aziraphale!

Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman and the cast slayed
I mean, it's Good Omens, what more can I say? All of the cast were awesome and I couldn't hope for more.
If you feel even slight need to read this (or listen to it), do it! It changes lives to the better.
