I really enjoyed Good Omens, though I'd already seen the TV adaption. It's surprising just how faithful the adaption was, large parts of both are identical word for word, but I understood why some sections of the book were cut out for the TV series (other four riders and some other bits) and didn't find that their inclusion improved the experience at all.

I love the story, and I really enjoy Pratchett's unique humour in particular, but the amazing adaptation with an absolutely stellar and memorable cast ruined the reading experience a bit for me.
