I don't need to tell you guys how much I love Neil Gaiman. He is one of my favorite authors. Every single book that I have read of his (so far) I have loved. This is no different. It's weird yet charming. The writing is incredible and the story is just so much fun. The characters are quirky to boot,...
My review of the book Fortunately, the Milk. I still remember how much I loved reading this book for the first time. The story was humorous and quite fun, but I found the illustrations greatly aided the tale. I really didn't think it was going to be as good listening to it as seeing the pictures, ...
Fortunately, the Milk is a lovely Children/Middle Grade story about a dad who, on his way to buy milk, gets abducted by aliens, travels in time and space to face pirates, volcanoes, dinosaurs and (maybe) piranhas. It even has ponies. I suppose I can't deny I'm Gaiman's fan now. I've read three of...

Spoons are excellent. Sort of like forks, only not as stabby."That's how you know it's by Neil Gaiman, and how you ...
On my own for the night with two of my daughters, we read this straight through in a single sitting at the dinner table while sipping chocolate and dipping biscotti. My kids (6 and 10) really enjoyed it, and didn't tire of listening. All told, it was a pleasant read. The illustrations are a lot of f...
I listened to the audiobook while on the train. I missed the illustrations, but Gaiman's reading made up for it. It was a cute story and though I'm a bit older than the target audience, I enjoyed it. It made me smile.
I come from a family of storytellers. My grandfather could weave a story that would leave you in tears of laughter while he sat there calm and cool as you please.
