I don't get all the point and hype of this book.

I don’t like everything that I read by Neil Gaiman. But this book is one of my absolute favorites. Whether it was the callousness of the villains who’d harm a baby or the open-heartedness of the people whose hearts had stopped beating, I loved every bit. Weirdly, I found this book to be less dark than Coraline and that one was aimed at kids!

The very beginning of the book is just wonderful. Rich use of language. Many details of the afterlife are not explained; I wish that had been more explored. There are many mini-adventures, and I wish there had been more about the man named Jack.
this book is ok.
