Title: Stands the test of time
Product review: I first read Good Omens about 7 years ago, and promptly referred it to family and friends. It introduced me to the Terry Pratchett's subtle yet 'custard-pie-in-the-face' writing style, and this collaboration with Neil Gaiman adds the pique of black comedy. I don't think you can compare this book to any other author/genre/comedic group, not even to some of Pratchett's other works - it stands alone as a masterpiece of narrative and dialogue. Each time I re-read Good Omens, I am struck by yet another subtle reference to philosophy, history or simply another take on the human condition. I find that as I become more well-read, I discover that Good Omens becomes a richer and richer read, which cries out "classic" to me.
