Oddly, I don’t like Gaiman much at all on his own, and I don’t like large doses of Pratchett either, but I loved Good Omens—they balanced each other’s weaknesses.
Oh wow, I have the exact opposite reaction; I love both Gaiman and Pratchett separately, but dislike Good Omens—they undercut each other’s strengths.
I tend to describe it as: “They have a similar worldview, but Gaiman is dark, whereas Pratchett is light. When you put them together the result is a rather bland gray.”
