This book is a bit of a conundrum, in a way, since it's effectively epic fantasy (important quest, bad guys and whatnot), but unlike most epic fantasy, it's not three inches thick and in really small print. It's also a wonderful fairy tale, and, like so many of the "classic" fairy tales, it doesn't go into minute detail and so is a fairly quick read. Parts of Tristran's journey are just a brief mention, and in a way that's a shame, because I would have liked to have heard more about some of it.

Like a lot of Neil Gaiman books, I was disappointed with the anti-climatic ending. Ending aside, this is a charming little book with lyrical prose and an original story.
Brilliant. I love the way he literally made London come to life.
