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 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.
