5 stars. Neil Gaiman is a freaking genius! This book was so strange and bizarre and I loved every single minute of it. I can't put into words how much I enjoyed this.

I'm having massive trouble trying to form a coherent review of this book. Gah.
Well, I absolutely loved it. It's my favorite Gaiman so far, (I'm only missing Anansi Boys & The Graveyard Book). But, there's not much reason why I should love this book as much as I do. Sure, it's epic, disturbing, weird, fantastical, but so are a lot of other books. What's this one got that those others do not?

Auf dem Weg zu ihrer Beerdigung begegnet er Wednesday einem alten kauzigen Mann, der ihm einen Job anbietet. Zunächst will er ablehnen, doch es wird immer deutlicher, dass er keine andere Aufgabe draußen hat und so willigt er ein, Wednesdays‘ Bodyguard zu werden.

I'm a bit behind with reading this. I have started and stopped reading it so many times that I cannot count. I always get hung up in the early middle. This time, with the television show about to premiere, I thought I would push through and finally figure out what Shadow and Wednesday are up to.
It is a long book so I was ready to dig deep this time. I listened to a full cast on audio and loved every minute.

What an interesting book.
Main story, with lots of side stories at times made it a little confusing, but over all they added to the whole wonderfully.
