>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 27 19:05:36 2011 No.2162679 OP, I think I've figured out the prerequisites something by Ray Bradbury has to meet if it is to be good. -Short story -Set in the future

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 27 19:12:36 2011 No.2162697 >>2162688 It was a decent book. Some portions were pretty good. But it's inferior to the books written by the authors individually, and to the Adams books that it was marketed as being similar to.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 27 19:23:36 2011 No.2162712 >>2162697 I agree with this 100%. It was alright but pretty much anything else by Gaiman or Pratchett is better than Good Omens. It doesn't come close to anything by Adams.
