All in Book Versus Film

First Pages: Good Omens

β€œIt was a nice day.

All the days had been nice. There had been rather more than seven of them so far, and rain hadn’t been invented yet. But clouds massing east of Eden suggested that the first thunderstorm was on its way, and it was going to be a big one.

The angel of the Eastern Gate put his wings over his head to shield himself from the first drops.”

~ Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
