Challenged to retrieve a fallen star, Tristran Thorn leaves the sleepy English village of Wall and crosses into the land of Faerie and the realm of Stormhold. Locating the star, he discovers it is no meteorite but a young woman, Yvaine. When Yvaine evades him and escapes, Tristran discovers he is not the only one in pursuit of the star: there are dark forces in this magical land, and he must find Yvaine before she falls into their clutches.

Lud-in-the-Mist - a prosperous country town situated where two rivers meet: the Dawl and the Dapple. The latter, which has its source in the land of Faerie, is a great trial to Lud, which had long rejected anything 'other', preferring to believe only in what is known, what is solid. Nathaniel Chanticleer is a somewhat dreamy, slightly melancholy man, not one for making waves, who is deliberately ignoring a vital part of his own past: a secret he refuses even to acknowledge.

Publisher's Summary
Neil Gaiman was the WINNER of the BBC Audio Drama Award 2015 for Outstanding Contribution to Radio Drama
A full-cast BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman’s celebrated apocalyptic comic novel, with bonus length episodes and outtakes.
According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday in fact. Just after Any Answers on Radio 4….
Events have been set in motion to bring about the End of Days. The armies of Good and Evil are gathering and making their way towards the sleepy English village of Lower Tadfield. The Four Horsepersons of the Apocalypse - War, Famine, Pollution and Death - are assembling. Witchfinder Shadwell and his assistant Newton Pulsifier are also en route to Tadfield to investigate unusual phenomena in the area, while Anathema Device, descendent of prophetess Agnes Nutter, tries to decipher her ancestor’s cryptic predictions.
Atlantis is rising; fish are falling from the sky; everything seems to be going to the Divine Plan. Everything, that is, but for an unlikely angel and demon duo, who have been living on Earth for several millennia and have become rather fond of the place. If they are to prevent Armageddon they’ve got to find and kill the one who will bring it about: the Antichrist himself. There’s just one small problem: someone seems to have mislaid him…
Adapted, sound designed and co-directed by Dirk Maggs (Neverwhere, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) this first ever dramatisation of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s novel features a large cast including Peter Serafinowicz, Mark Heap, Josie Lawrence and Paterson Joseph.

A Hell Of- Bless- A Really Fun Dramatisation, Okay
Fantastic voices all around, particularly the leads - perfect as Aziraphale and Crowley. As a dramatisation a few scenes from the book were omitted for pacing, mainly scenes not concerning the main cast, which was disappointing. Overall it was a very enjoyable 4 hours.

Not the best Terry Pratchett, with an annoying announcer between every chapter (which are short). A short narrative about an angel and devil trying to stop Armageddon. A bit too simplistic.

An adaption of one of my all time favorite books
This is a tricky thing to review. I love the story & have read it many many times & I know the details inside out & back to front.
The cast are stellar & the performances are excellent but as a fan of the original I found the adaption quite irksome in places.
In the original, the book has a voice of it's own (almost) with foot notes and asides. these are dropped entirely from the adaption with some of the text clumsily shoe-horned in to characters dialogue or as additional exposition. This for some reason grated with me, every time.
Personally, I felt that an adaption might have worked better with a 'narrator' for the book, or at least for the footnotes but perhaps they feared it would make it more like Hitchhiker's Guide.
Either way it's an excellent audiobook worthy of your time, but fans of the original may find some of the changes a little jarring. New listeners will enjoy every second of it.

Listen to the audiobook, not the adaptation
This adaptation loses a lot of the wit and charm of the book. Many of the clever lines of narrative and action sequences are described aloud by the characters, lending an air of contrivance and breaking my suspension of disbelief over its knee.
While the cast themselves did nothing wrong, this is a piece of fiction that sounds more like an underfunded radio hour than a 'nice and accurate narrative of events leading to the apocalypse'.
As a fan of the book and Dirk Maggs (whose adaptations of 'Neverwhere' and the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy I quite enjoyed), I am disappointed with the quality of this adaptation. Don't waste your money on this, and listen to the audiobook instead if you want a audio narration of 'Good Omens'

One of my favorite books, brought to life...
A few months ago I downloaded the copy of Neverwhere done in radio dramatization by the BBC and was sadly very dissapointed in its performance. A much loved story, I was easily lost with what was happening even though I have tead it many times. This production on the other hand, was fantastic. Well adapted to the radio audience and wonderfully performed. I would love to hear some of Pratchett's plays or short stories done like this was. Excellent purchase. Wish there was a sequel, or wven if the movie finally took off!

Buy the audiobook, not this!
I bought this title because I thought it was the audiobook.
I've read the book in Hebrew and absolutely loved it, so I wanted to try it in the language of origin.
By mistake I bought the dramatization. While It's a nice effort, they took out all of the descriptions so you have no idea what the hell it going on. I had to rely on memory to understand the best scenes. In addition, each and every chapter starts and ends with opening titles, so if you binge it, you will hear all credits again, and again, and again and again.
Do yourself a favor and buy the audiobook (or go watch the TV series, it's also brilliant).
This dramatization will only ruin the story for you.

Great Companion for the Original Book
The performance is great and the story too, but I think it works better for people that already know the original book.
Since it is a dramatization, it can be confusing sometimes if you are not familiar with the book, Some points of the story are glossed over and some details are left behind to make the dramatization more fluid.
Overall is a excellent experience, but the original book is a more complete one.

Delightful and hilarious!
Would you consider the audio edition of Good Omens to be better than the print version?
I wouldn't say this performance was better the the print version, but I would say that if you like the story, or like comedic drama, then this is a must listen. The characters are well cast, and the delivery is on point. Well produced - I relisten to this often, due to the quality of the performance.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Crowly is a fantastic good/evil baron of hell, and his drive to be bad on a massive global scale in line with his pact with the angel is very funny. His antics are attributed to most of mans foibles in history, although just as many are attributed to the angels.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
The scene that always springs back to memory is when the 4 horsemen ride out, along with the various lead-ups to that point. Very clever, and very well handled.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Adam's pals bring him back from his plan to remake the world with typical child logic that isn't fluffed up by adulthood and the bitterness the real world imposes on people. It is a wonderful piece of writing, that would only fail to move those with the hardest of hearts, and saddest of lives.
Any additional comments?
One of Pratchett and Gaiman's all time victories in writing, produced and performed to the highest level, creating a story that can be listened to over and over, without any impatience or boredom.

Wickedly witty.
Wickedly witty. Hilariously sinister. Only Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman could make Armageddon so much fun.

Amazing
Could not possibly recommend it enough!! Absolutely brilliant!! The actors really bring the story to life, they were perfectly cast for their roles. A real corker. Listened to it in practically one sitting...apart from pee breaks!!
