The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains...: 4/5 A little forgettable, but an entertaining story nonetheless.
My Last Landlady: 3/5 I think this poem kind of went over my head. I liked the language, it just didn't say anything to me.
Adventure Story: 4/5 A cute, well-executed idea.
Orange: 5/5 I loved the format, and the story it tells is very creepy. This also has some of the best writing Gaiman's done.

Click-Clack, the Rattlebag: 3/5 Well-written, kind of cliched.
An Invocation of Incuriousity: 4/5 A little boring in spots, but overall very compelling.
"And Weep, Like Alexander": 3/5 Good idea, meh execution.

The Case and Death of Honey: 3/5 I feel like you have to be more familiar with Sherlock Holmes than I am to really appreciate this story, but it's still pretty well-written.
The Man Who Forgot Ray Bradbury: 2/5 Maybe I would like this story better if I didn't despise Fahrenheit 451. But man, was this ever pretentious.
Jerusalem: 2/5 Pointless and, for Gaiman, uncharacteristically boring.

A Calendar of Tales: 4/5 The premise is maybe a bit gimmicky, but most of the stories are entertaining enough that I never got bored or anything. It's Gaiman doing exactly what he's good at.

The Thing About Cassandra: 3/5 I like the twist at the end, but the story is kind of boring until it comes.
Down to a Sunless Sea: 2/5 This one is just very boring and forgettable - the prose is about all it's got going for it.

Making a Chair: 4/5 Not my favorite of Gaiman's poems, but this is a pretty good concept for one, and it's a nice read.
A Lunar Labyrinth: 2/5 This feels like the introduction to a larger story, and it's kind of disappointing when the story ends and you realize it's all you'll get.
