I highly recommend you listen to the audiobook. Neil Gaiman narrates and he is amazing. His voice and the story just fits beautifully. I loved it.

I think I can now confirm that I do not like Neil Gaiman, and I won't need to go through the pain of giving him another chance ever again.

Wow - I read this in one afternoon. The words and story just take over. Reading this book is an experience. Gaiman has artfully put to page the magic, wonder and fear of childhood and how it is always at the core of who we are
Every book I've read by Gaiman has been magical. This book even more so with Gaiman himself reading it aloud. Please, please, please write another one soon....

This was probably a 4.5 star read, but I bumped it up to 5 stars for just how wonderful and dreamy it was.

I loved this book. My feelings are summed up in the epigraph. It reminds me of our closeness to the Otherworld, of the danger of Natural forces, of the Triple Goddess and veils. And I am reminded in the elegance of simplicity. It is quintessential Gaiman.
What's to say against an entertaining little read that passes the time pleasantly? Glad nobody's standing over me with an axe, making sure I find some nit with the book, 'cause I didn't.
Thanks, NG, for a good read.
