What I'm Listening to: Good Omens

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I finished listening to Martin Jarvis narrating Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, so now I know what all the gifs are about. But Crowley and Aziraphale are much less of the plot than the internet lead me to believe. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. I liked Crowley best, especially Crowley and his house plants. And I did enjoy the drunken conversation he and Aziraphale have at toward the beginning of the book. Martin Jarvis is a first-rate narrator (he did some of the Jeeves stories and while not my fave, he is still no slouch). I did like his Aziraphale voice. So at some point (next month), I will be doing a fic or ficlet as part of 100 fandoms. I don't know if I'll ever be tempted to watch the TV show, I've seen enough of the gifs to satisfy me about the slash part, but I'm glad I read the book.

I've only read the book, not seen the tv version yet - it was on Amazon which we don't have, supposedly coming to the BBC (who co-funded but still have to wait 6 months) and from what I can tell the emphasis changes.

Yeah, I try not give Amazon any more money than I can help. But it was entertaining. I liked ol' Agnes Nutter.
