Are there any fans of the original book out there? I am sure every TV show fan has bought the book and loves it. If anything, it got people reading the book again!
Sometimes I'll check things out, but they always turn out to be about the TV series. Well books are a bit static in that sense. Although you never know if Gaiman might turn S2 of the show into a novel - he and Pratchett did plot it all out. Mind you, the book has a different tone to the show. Like, you can tell from fic whether it's book-based on show-based just from the characters/tone. Just a few centimeters to the left. :) (I love both.)
I love the main actors, but they are not who I picture when I read the book and ~ in my world ~ their characters are side characters, so I feel very isolated as far as Good Omens is concerned. I know there are more like you. But please be patient with us, while we go heart-eyes over this delightful show that just walked into our souls and set up shop.
Such a fate has befallen me often, but I do love the book, and find even the radio series hard to listen to these days. The book is delightful, although - like you with the TV show - I couldn't get the voice actors from the radio series to fit my mental image of the characters.
