Generally, I like Gaiman books-- not always 5 stars, but enough that I can say I like them. Most I've even listened too, so I thought this book would also follow the same line for me. It did start off GREAT. I was loving this one. 

Then things seemed to slow down and I realized I had no idea where the plot was going. As an audiobook, this just doesn't work for me. **Note on narrators: Loved it. I love the full cast and every one of them fit and sounded great. I really liked the narrator

The ease with which the story switches between mundane things like coin tricks, to heavy stuff like Gods & human sacrifice, is something only Gaiman can pull off. It's not quite as good as Neverwhere, but full marks for letting his imagination run wild on this one. ...more
