Different anon but I have to say, GOmens is so good! It can be found for free online if Amazon is a problem (which it is) and the book is also fantastic. If you have already started the TV show I'd recommend you finish that first before reading the book, but I seriously have to recommend it. It is very good, quite better than the show in some aspects (although, Sheen and Tennant add their own spin to the characters that also elevates the whole product in a completely different way that is also bloody amazing).
Also, a suggestion on reading the book after watching the show, I really do recommend thinking of the characters as separate from the TV!Omens ones. Especially Aziraphale and Crowley, since they're what most of us focus on, to be honest. Their characterisations are pretty different in the book and show and thinking of them as one when reading/watching the other may... taint things a bit, maybe. My advice would be to look for some Book!Omens fanart specifically (the #book omens tag on Tumblr should have many examples) before reading the book to form some new pictures in your head while reading the book and have these be separate from Sheen and Tennant's Aziraphale and Crowley. This is what I did, anyways, and it worked really well for me, and hopefully it will help you as well.
Thank you for your time, and sorry for the long rambling. Have a nice evening.
Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm! I wanted to listen to a radio play adaptation of good omens way back in 2012 because Colin Morgan was in it, but I couldn't find it online at the time. I'll add both to my watchlist.
When I read books I tend to outright ignore the characters I've seen in films & overwrite the with my imagination, but I'm terrible at imagining new locations from scratch & the movie locations will usually take over entirely, which is bizarre.
I have the opposite problem when I'm drawing art- I'm usually pretty good at drawing buildings from scratch without a drawing reference, but I have to collect a lot of different pictures to remind me what a human looks like before I start sketching one.
