He has done it again.
Neil Gaiman, the conjurer, has done it again.
I'd never look at a star the same way again.
I was in constant awe of his superior imagination and beautiful writing. The way he pieced together the various subplots was brilliant. He built a really beautiful setting in my head, and I was left wanting for more, and was saddened when it ended.
