At work we have been picking books for other people to read so Ray gave me Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet. OK so here goes their attempts at off the wall humor fall so flat it’s excruciating. The authors often say things sarcastically, and then say "Ha ha, I lied," and this is supposed to pass for Douglas-Adams-style droll word play. I find no trace of the hilarity others recognize, and I barely broke a smile.
I would have stopped reading from boredom but I felt that I had to give the book and Ray a chance so I plundered on.
So for this book I give 1 star.
