The Nice and Accurate Good Omens TV Companion Hardcover – May 21, 2019

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK ON KINDLE.I know that most books are on kindle. I buy most of them there myself. This is NOT a book to buy on kindle. It deserves a hard copy. It is beautiful and rich. The book paper is heavy. The binding is good quality. This is something you want in a hard copy.Great pictures. Great explanations and writing. Absolutely required for any Good Omens fan. I particularly enjoyed the description of the actual owner of the real Bentley used who was on set to make sure his baby did not suffer a single scratch.Is it worth the $40 price? Yes. A rare book which is worth it. However, mine was a like new remainder in Excellent condition. Buy used, but definitely buy it in its real form Rather than kindle.

This book is wonderful for anybody who is a fan of the 1990 book by Neil and Sir Terry, as well as the 2019 adaptation. It delves deeper into the series, giving insight into the process of filming, costume design, script, etc. I was so excited to receive the book in the mail, only to be disappointed at the damage. The spine is completely dinged and damaged to the point of the cover peeling and many pages are bent out of place. The packaging was a large cardboard parcel with a single thin airbag type thing, which did not help in transit. If I wanted a used copy, I would have saved myself the $25 for a dinged book. I paid $40 because I wanted a nice copy. Aziraphale would not be impressed with the way this book was treated. I'm debating asking for an exchange.But aside from that, I have no complaints. Lovely book. :)

Companion books to movies and TV shows are always a bit of a dice roll when it comes to their quality. While they're usually filled with interesting anecdotes and tons of pictures, they have a habit of feeling little more than a fluff piece used as advertisement for that film/TV series. Luckily, this isn't the case with either of the two books released as tie-ins for Amazon Prime and BBC's recent adaptation of Good Omens. Both books - a traditional companion and a book featuring all of Neil Gaiman's scripts for the series - are excellent reads, managing to be both informative and worthwhile reads even for those who know everything there is to know about the series and its creation.This is a gargantuan of a book. Dimension-wise, it's as big as a sheet of paper and as thick as a textbook. Between its covers is a very well-written account of the creation of the Good Omens TV adaptation, from its infancy all the way through its post-production. Included are an enormous array of interviews with the cast and crew, plenty of photographs from behind the scenes, and a litany of other tidbits that should please even the biggest fan of the series. Whyman's time spent on the set has given him a great vantage point from which to write this account of the making of the series and the interviews throughout the book reveal plenty of new information about the creation of the series that fans won't be able to find anywhere else, making this a must-read for those who want to know everything about this series.I appreciated how well-structured this book was. Many other companion books of this nature hop around from subject to subject as they detail the creation of whatever thing they're covering, but here, it's formatted (more or less) in an episode-by-episode basis, covering topics as they appear within the narrative of the show. It's a great way of formatting such a book and lets readers read behind the scenes secrets of the episodes they just watched as they can pretty easily tell when the subject switches to something that hasn't occurred yet. That being said, I wouldn't read this until you've seen the series as it does contain some spoilers for the show and how it differs from the novel.I don't often talk about the physical aspects of a book - as I'm typically an ebook reader - but with this one, I must. It's simply a gorgeous book. It's bound very well - though slightly tighter than I'd prefer - which makes it very easy to lay on a table and read. It's very big, which does make it a bit hard to hold but it's no worse than holding a textbook (and weighs a bit less than an average textbook). And, best of all, are the pages themselves. They're thick, glossy pages that reproduce color remarkably well. It feels like a very high-quality book which, for the price, is pretty impressive.Overall, The Nice and Accurate Good Omens TV Companion is an excellent companion book to an excellent TV series. It's filled with a massive amount of information, lots of wonderful photos, and a ton of revealing interviews, all bound together in a beautiful book. It's a must-read for fans of the series and I absolutely recommend it.

An excellent companion, informative and very readable, with good photography. I gave this to my wife for Christmas and she read it just about straight through. I took it , still warm from her hands, and did the same thing. The only downside is this may have set the gift-giving bar 'way high for me. I'll never be able to top this.

A heavy book! Excellent quality paper. Wonderful content and images from the Prime TV series.

La neta amo este libro, si vale la pena comprarlo, esta genial, lo amo, si te encanta como hacen las series o como pensaron las escenas o cosas, este libro es para ti, viene todo, como crearon los personajes, las ventimentas que iban a tener, el actor que lo interpreto, behind the scenes, esta genial el libro, lo mejor, lo cuido como oro molido

Um adicional ótimo pra série, com várias entrevistas e fotos lindíssimas. O papel é de alta qualidade também.

EEEEEEE I LOVE IT SM. Has so much bts info on the show and it's just so cool to see and read about!

このレビューはドラマ化に辺りGood Omensを知ったが英語がわからないので本を買うのを悩んでいる私のような人に向けて書いています。英語しかありません、そこは覚悟しましょう。kindleで購入すればエキサイト翻訳的な事は出来ます、私はkindleで購入しました、物理で欲しかったら買い直せばいいんです。英語出来ない私から見て一番の収穫は写真です、キャラクタービジュアル、本編、撮影中、ロケ地、あとは未収録シーンのようなのも何枚か、イメージイラストも素敵。米アマゾンで見るともう何枚か中身の写真が添付されてるのでそちらで判断してもいいと思います。英語がわからなくても眺めていて楽しいので英語がわかる人はもっと楽しいでしょう。できればそういう人がもっとこの本の面白さを伝えてくれるとうれしいです。
