I do love Neil Gaiman's writing! Excellent book of short stories and some poetry. What an imagination!
It's very rare (if ever) that I give a short stories book 5 stars because inevitably there is always something in it that I just can't stand or get my head around.

This was a great collection of short stories, many that truly make you think. I bought it for "Snow, Glass, and Apples" and that story alone was incredible. Definitely worthy of my time.
