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.

I read what was it about but didn’t know how it would work the fantasy/reality mix with the little boy’s story. At the beginning I thought it would be really boring, because it started...

Steeped in Science, Submersed in Story
Ooooo creepy. Wonderful and creepy. It's amazing how quicky Gaiman can pull you into a story, fully submerge you, giving you a view in every direction.It's a short book, but when I finished it, I felt like I had been holding my breath the whole time and would pass out if it were any longer. He lea...
