I've never read anything else by Gaiman (or seen anything else except his two episodes if Doctor Who) but I have read a handful of Discworld novels and I can say that the humor in Good Omens is very much Pratchett's style.

Whether you'd like the show is kind of a toss-up, because while the jokes are taken straight from the book, in my opinion they can come across differently when spoken, whether by the narrator or in dialogue, and a few are purely visual. Whether that's an improvement is open to interpretation.

There's also a bunch of added scenes in the show, giving more character and background to some characters (not just Crowley and Aziraphale, but they do get the lion's share) and giving more prominence to the overall forces of heaven and hell who are trying to get the Apocalypse to happen. Meanwhile, a few minor characters don't appear at all (Greasy Johnson and the Johnsonites and the human bikers who want to ride with the Four Horsemen). I also thought the ending of the Apocalypse - i.e. how Adam actually ended it - was made far more clear than in the book.

That's good to know! It sounds like I should give the show a shot.
