Something I really like about Good Omens so far is their interesting and colorful cast of characters. The fact that an angel and demon are best friends also makes for a great story. I'm always intrigued by different things like that, yin befriending yang and all. In a way it can refer to the actual possibility of people who are exact opposites becoming friends. I feel that if that actually happens, it could make the world much more peaceful as different types of people could understand the differences in people other than themselves. Haha how ironic, discussing how the world could be more peaceful in a blog about the Armageddon. Perhaps that is what the story is meant to state that point to the readers, hinting that if life were more like this, the world could be better. Angels could retire and own antique shops and become best friends with some demons and so on. But anyway back to the story.
A witch named Agnes has just been introduced. I wonder how she will contribute to the Apocalypse. She runs a bike shop which I find to be very odd indeed. Still the fact that there is a witch existing in the time of Angels and Demons makes this book even more interesting.
Ahh it appears that Agnes helps Aziraphale and Crowley locate the correct son of Armageddon. With their new location the angel and devil set off.

The book certainly sounds like it has an interesting array of characters. I like the sound of opposites being friends, it does give off a certain sense of balance. That has a lot of potential for it to be funny or at least interesting, especially due to the religious connotations involved with angels and demons. (I hear from some random voice sitting next to me that your terminology is wrong, but I had no idea, you would have to ask him about it.)
ReplyDelete6/6 entries--good job! Remember about posting on different days, though, so that you read in between the writings. It's really clear (and not pretty) when students take one reading and divide it among several blog entries.
ReplyDeleteSince both of the books you've played with for the last three weeks are fiction, it's time for you to figure out what nonfiction book you'd like to read. Please let me know if you want suggestions!
