This was the first fantasy story I have read in a while and it was a good book to renew my interest in the genre. It was also the first book I've ever read by Neil Gaiman. Ive heard alot about his beautiful prose and writing style and I have to agree. There were times in the book I felt like I was t...
The Ocean at the End of the Lane Neil Gaiman, 2013 A man - now middle-aged - returns to the town he grew up in to attend a funeral. Needing a break from the crowd, he goes on a drive and finds himself back on the street where he grew up. He remembers a girl named Lettie Hempstock who lived with ...

Becoming an adult means forgetting a million things, like the fact that those couple of trees in the backyard could easily be an enchanted forest...This book is an ode to childhood. Gaiman will carefully open a little door in your brain and take you to a place with all the familiarities of your earl...
The Ocean at the End of the Lane won several awards the last few years and I decided to give it a read. It left me like most of these awards winning books do, in a entertained, but not excited place. The story itself is easily picked up and proceeds to a satisfying conclusion... and that is basi...
