Neil Gaiman’s stories are always interesting. His concepts are unique and intriguing and well done. His writing style is easy to read and immersive.
However, as always with his books, I struggled to connect to the characters. There was one character I got emotional about, and she was secondary and not a huge part of it. But as for the rest of them, I felt distanced from them. Like the humour was a bit of barrier at times. They were okay characters but I didn’t really care what happened to them. ...more

Probably one of the most boring main characters I have ever tried to read about. I eventually gave up, even after meeting more interesting characters like his brother and aunts (grandmothers?). Sure, a main character needs to have flaws, but there also has to be something interesting about him to keep us reading. Otherwise he's just a mundane, normal person, not story material. I love other Gaiman books, but this one was not for me.
