Oh, I read this book already but I'll lurk for the discussion. It'll be interesting to see your takes on this book :)

Thanks, Lisa Kay!

I completely forgot all about this! I have the book on hand - so I'm ready to start anytime. Just confirm!

I'm in. This is the first time I'm hearing about this book and I'm intrigued! :)

Super challenge!! I'm in :) I'll post my list later!

It says Video no longer available :(

Lisa Kay, I think you missed CaroB in the participants list :)

I've decided to purchase it anyway. The book was one of my favorite of the year. And the glimpses I've had of the drawings was superb. In the New Year, surely.

Kellyflower, the DTB version has some beautiful drawings by Jim kay. The ebook doesn't have. I hope to get my hands on the DTB version soon.

2. True, we do not exactly know where Bod gets his smart from either.

3. Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I don't think if Bod was left alone, he would not have grown up straddling the line. He would have been perfectly happy being a normal, alive kid.

This is my first Gaiman actually. I have American Gods and Neverwhere on my TBR and I probably will read them sometime.

Felt fishy, didn't it?

I gave the book 3 stars. It was an ok read but did not match the hype that I received about this book. I might be picking another of Gaiman's book just to see what's the fuss about.
