I don’t have much to say regarding this book, so I decided to write a mini review instead. I really liked this book. It was my first Neil Gaiman book, and I have to admit I quite enjoyed his writing and storytelling abilities. The characters were interesting and pretty well rounded. It was an intere...
Alright. Confession time. Historically speaking I'm not a Gaiman fan. I know, I know. Don't throw things at me. Here's the thing though: I really liked this book.One of the things I think Gaiman does exceptionally well is come up with striking ideas and imagery. There is a richness in his world buil...
I'm late to the party on this one, I know. In actual fact, I had no intention of reading this, because although I am aware that Gaiman is an Awesome Person with all the right ideas about humanity and reading, etc., and therefore Beloved of All the Internet, I've never enjoyed his books as much as I ...
I don't do religion. Begging favors from an imaginary, father figure on a cloud isn't my style. To quote Serenity's Captain Malcolm Reynolds, "That's a long wait for a train don't come."Instead, I've got my real life gods, creative people who consistently inspire me, artists, who even at their worst...
Not my favorite by him, although I liked the ending quite a bit. This one just seemed so full of lines that were obviously...lines. Intended to be quotable. Blegh. But those Hempstocks were pretty great. Gaiman is such a fun story teller that I'll always read him because even if there are parts of h...
Very interesting and a bit twisted. Definitely keeps you guessing. Reminds me a bit of Alice in Wonderland. I was confused most of the time as thing happen without explaining and you kind of just have to go with it, but it was definitely a good read.
I liked it, I really did, but it touched a subject a little too close to home and I felt as helpless as the time it happened to me and I think it affected the reading in general, because even after the "villain" was defeated I still was thinking about her and the little boy's father. I would have ...
Neil Gaiman is an author I never would have found out about if it wasn’t for booktube and tumblr bookblogs – and I’m so glad I did, and so thankful to the book community for it.“I’m going to tell you something important. Grown-ups don’t look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they’re big ...
I received a print copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.Ocean at the End of the Lane is one of the best books I've read since The Book Thief. Neil Gaiman is an extraordinary author that pulls you into his story and delves deep into his character and emotion pool to open up and awake...
I really enjoyed this read. I don't know why I particularly liked the book, but I suppose it had something to do with the fact that I was really tired when I read the book (read this during the latter portion of Dewey's Readathon in April) or the language was in such a way that honestly I didn't ca...
