Good Omens Unabridged Audio Book Download
Tingting Gao
Have you binged Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch on Amazon Prime, too? Are you already waiting for season 2 to release? Well, time might pass faster while listening to the Good Omens audiobook!
You get to choose between three versions of the Good Omens audiobook on Audible. And they are actually all quite different! Below, you can find out more about the three books so you can choose the one that will be most enjoyable for you.
Abridged means that it is a shortened version of the original book. Most Audible audiobooks are unabridged, so they are exactly the same as the print or ebook. But some are condensed versions of the book.
However, if you have never read the book before, I recommend you choose one of the other two Good Omens audio books. It will give you the full original experience of this absolutely fantastic story. Get Good Omens BBC play on Amazon**
In this latest version from 2022, many members of the cast from the Good Omens TV show revisit their roles to bring us the best of both worlds: an almost unabridged Good Omens audiobook, read by a full cast!
As I mentioned earlier, people who are new to audiobooks might struggle to listen to a full-cast production. Mind, for some it is the other way around, and they find it easier to follow an audiobook like this one, with a full cast, that sounds like a movie!
These are two very different listening experiences, and before you spend that valuable Audible credit, you should try to get an idea which kind of Good Omens audiobook production works best for you. Get Good Omens with David Tennant and Michael Sheen on Amazon**
The new, full-cast version is definitely my personal favorite among the different Good Omens audiobooks. But the other two are close seconds and can easily come out ahead for other listeners. So, again, please check out the Audible samples before you make your decision!
There are several different versions of the unabridged audio, too. If you want to pick that up, you can shop around a bit on Amazon and see which narrator you like best. On Audible, they only offer the newest unabridged version and the abridged BBC play at the moment.
A brand-new full-cast audiobook production of the classic collaboration from internationally best-selling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett starring Rebecca Front as the Narrator, Michael Sheen as Aziraphale, and David Tennant as Crowley!
I have been listening to audiobooks for a few years now and have had the misfortune of mistakenly downloading a Dramatisations instead. I have listened to Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman and War and Peace by Tolstoy.
Both renditions were by the BBC and featured famous actors. They were also much shorter than I expected and I found them a lot harder to follow than comparable audiobooks. I guess I am supposed to know who is talking based on the actors voices...
A brand-new full-cast audio production of Good Omens, the internationally beloved novel and collaboration by bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Starring Michael Sheen as Aziraphale, David Tennant as Crowley and Rebecca Front as the Narrator.
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.
So, the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan.
Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon - both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle - are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.
And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist....
A brand new full cast audiobook production of the classic collaboration from internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett starring Rebecca Front as the Narrator, Michael Sheen as Aziraphale, and David Tennant as Crowley!
Shortly before his death, Neville recorded The Periodic Table by Primo Levi, an idea for audiobook that he himself had suggested. Happily, he was able to hear the edited recording during his final days.
Neil Gaiman is a British author of age 57 and fond of writing short graphic novels, comic books, fiction novels, films and audio theatre. His writing is unpredictable and reflects the pleasure of fantasy, fiction, and humor. He cleverly twisted the characters by linking philosophy, humor and plot distinctly.
All of the Discworld novels, and most of Terry's other novels, have been recorded as audiobooks. The Discworld series in particular has been recorded multiple times...which can lead to some confusion.
The first audiobook versions of Pratchett's works were the abridged Corgi editions of Truckers, Diggers and Wings, in 1993. These were quickly followed by the Discworld series, also abridged. Tony Robinson reads all the Corgi editions, which also include most of Pratchett's other non-Discworld books.
Isis Books started producing unabridged audiobooks of the Discworld novels with The Colour of Magic in 1995. The original plan seems to have been for different narrators for each sub-series, with Nigel Planer reading Rincewind, and Celia Imrie reading the witches. However Imrie only read two books, Equal Rites and Wyrd Sisters, and Nigel Planer continued to read the rest until Carpe Jugulum. The series continued from The Fifth Elephant onwards with Stephen Briggs narrating all the books, including Eric which had been skipped in the intial order.
Isis also produced audiobooks of some of Pratchett's other work, notably unabridged editions of the Bromeliad books, read by Briggs, and the first audiobook version of Good Omens, narrated by Martin Jarvis.
RandomHouse Audio and AudioGO have produced audiobooks of several other Pratchett books, including the Science of Discworld series, which have Michael Fenton Stevens narrating the nonfiction chapters, and Stephen Briggs narrating the fiction chapters. A similar arrangement was made for the anthology A Blink of the Screen, in which Briggs reads the Discworld short fiction, and Fenton Stevens the non-Discworld material, and for Template:MBH, read by Penelope Keith with Fenton Stevens reading the official notices that appear alongside Mrs Bradshaw's notes. Fenton Stevens also reads the nonfiction collection A Slip of the Keyboard and the Long Earth books. Random House also released audiobooks of the collections of Pratchett's early writing for children, read by Julian Rhind-Tutt except for The Time-travelling Caveman, which is read by Ben Bailey Smith.
50 Years of Terry kicked off with a new fiftieth anniversary edition audiobook of The Carpet People, read by David Tennant. Prior to this, Penguin books announced in late 2021 that they would release a new series of audiobooks of "all 40" Discworld books (the one left out being The Last Hero), each sub-series and standalone book having its own narrator. They released Hogfather earlier, to coincide with the twentieth anniversary edition paperback released for Christmas 2021. For the purpose of the new editions - which also incorporate new paperbacks with matching cover designs - Penguin created new non-overlapping "official" sub-series, which don't quite line up with how fans have categorised the books. Consistently across all the new audiobooks, Peter Serafinowicz appears as the voice of Death, and Bill Nighy reads the footnotes, characterised by the publishers as "the voice of the author".
American editions of the audiobooks have generally been the same ones offered in the UK, but attempts for localised versions were made. Fantastic Audio produced two books, Thief of Time and Night Watch, in an usual format where narrators took turns to read parts of the book. The primary narrator was Stefan Rudnicki, with Harlan Ellison listed as making "a special appearance". They were the only two for Night Watch, but Thief of Time also features Christopher Cazenove, Gabrielle de Cuir, Karesa McElheny and John Robinstein.
In 2018, famous audio producer Dirk Maggs - who worked on the continuation of the Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy radio series, based on the later novels - produced a full-cast version of Unseen Academicals for Audible, starring David Jason, Jon Culshaw, Matthew Horne, Josie Lawrence, Jame Winstone and Stephen Briggs. Though this seems to have been successful, there's been no announcement since of any other similar audio adaptations. Maggs went on to produce the hugely successful Audible adaptations of Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics.
Following the success of the television series, HarperAudio in the US produced a full-cast audiobook of Good Omens in 2021. It features Rebecca Front as the narrator, David Tennant and Michael Sheen reprising their roles as Crowley and Aziraphale from the series, and an ensemble cast of some surprisingly big names as the rest of the characters, including Arthur Darvill, Gabrielle Glaister and Adjoa Andoh.
Sheen and Tennant are the only stars of the Amazon series reprising their roles for the audiobook. The rest of the audio cast includes Katherine Kingsley, Arthur Darvill, Peter Forbes, Gabrielle Glaister, Louis Davison, Pixie Davis, Chris Nelson, Ferdinand Frisby Williams, Adjoa Andoh, Allan Corduner, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Josh Hopkins, Lorelei King, Matt Reeves, and Lemn Sissay.
