The story is a little confusing at first. It started off in the "real world", and then it does a flashback of the main character's childhood that sort of might be fantasy?

It's been a while since I read a book that I loved as much as this one. I think it's made better in the audiobook version by the author doing the voice work (can be dicey sometimes). His voice and cadence add an extra layer of emotion to the story. I rank this with the likes of The Book Thief which I also loved because the narrator of the audiobook did such a fantastic job, in addition to a wonderful story. Looking forward to exploring more of Neil Gaiman's work.
