I was surprised how quickly I got caught up in this fairy tale for adults, and how riveted I was until the very end. Of course, illustrations were a huge part of that.

And in the narration, Gaiman struck just the right balance between fantasy and reality, between the silly and the serious, and between uplifting and frightening fantasy.

A good, quick read. It's well-written and engaging. Exactly what I was looking for from a book described as a fairy tale for adults.
