This is one of those books I've been putting off for so long, because everyone told me I'd love it and all the hype worries me. So I let it die down (a lot) and when I just can't wait anymore, I read it. Sometimes it is hype. We can't all enjoy the same books and despite liking both Pratchett and Gaiman, they have both let me down in the past. This one didn't let me down at all. Loved every second of it.
