Di MasterClass ada kelas menulis dari Neil Gaiman, dan aku ingin sekali mengikutinya. Namun, biayanya mahal sekaleee. Wajar sih menurutku. Gaya tulisan Neil Gaiman itu--selain deskriptif dan enak untuk diselami--juga magical. Dia mampu mencampurkan latar dongeng ke dalam dunia nyata, menciptakan makhluk-makhluk ajaib (walaupun kadang terinspirasi dari sebuah mitologi), dan sebuah cerita fantasi yang menggigit untuk diikuti.

Buku ini punya premis seorang laki-laki paruh baya mengunjungi tempat tin

This was another audiobook read that I got through my library, and my gosh was it incredible. 

Let me first start by saying, listening to Gaiman read his book is the most soothing thing in the world. Sometimes it would accidentally send me to sleep, not because the book was boring but because his voice is so relaxing. 

There are a lot of thing I liked about The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I really liked the world, and how it was mixture of magic and the real world. Those are some of my favorite

it's really a masterpiece.
Actually, im not into a fantasy books addict, but i love a half fantasy. And this book is kinda really my self. i really enjoy every page in this book.

This book also shows a situation in and old times, and i like that a lot. It's not story about a sad love story or something like that. Nel Gaiman tells us about something brilliant, masterpiece, wonderfull, and amazingness.

Five stars for this books!

I initially gave this book 3.5/5 but over time I kept thinking about the story and remembering it so fondly. This happens with me often with Neil Geiman books, its almost like I need the stories to settle in before I can appreciate them properly. Reading The Graveyard Book and seeing Neil mention that Liza Hempstock is related to Lettie Hempstock made me realize how fond I felt about this book.
