I enjoyed this gem via audiobook using Hoopla, which is annoying and glitchy but that's neither here nor there, and I am astounded anew each time I venture into the extremely rich, creative mind of Mr. Neil Gaiman. He narrates his own books and really who knows better the tone implied or the necessa...
A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. The house is long gone but he finds himself drawn to the old farmhouse at the end of the road where his childhood friend lived. Lettie Hempstock wasn't an ordinary little girl and her mother and grandmother weren't ordinary women. ...
I listened to the audiobook back in January, and I think I’ll let my rating stand. Then as now, what really drove up the rating at the end was Ocean, the black cat from the field. I had to kind of psych myself up to dive in, though, because I do find the opal miner’s arrival difficult to read. In so...

It's a modern fairy tale for grown ups. Like most of his books, it contains that little bit of wisdom he i...
Following a funeral, a man makes his way back to the neighborhood where he grew up, and to his old friends home. This sends him down a road of reflection on life when he was seven years old. Overall while I liked this book, I didn't love it, I felt like this book was on the precipice of greatness...
Weird tale. I could not understand what it was about. The writing drew me in so I wanted to understand the story but this is not my genre. Neil Gaiman is a wonderful storyteller. I love his writing.
