The combination of the horror and the comedy is a difficult thing and the writer has done it very well.Sir Terence David John Pratchett (28 April 1948 – 12 March 2015) was an English humorist, satirist, and author of fantasy novels, especially comical works. That makes this book a very good comic book as well. Like this time, there are many other events in this book which are going to be very much hilarious as well. Like the time when the son of the Satan takes birth. There is a strong influence of the comedy on this book. The writer is trying to make a picture of the time when the earth is going to an end. The main subject of the book is going to be the end times and the end of the world. Not just these things but there are many other things making it more amazing as well, like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
These are the things making it more and more attractive and interesting to read as well. It is going to talk about the prophecies, and the things like the Apocalypse as well. As the complete name of the book says that “Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch”.
Horror, comedy and a lot of other things, all the things you have been looking for are there in this book waiting for you to read and enjoy them.
