Another fantastic read from Neil Gaiman.
The characters are well written, the prose is impeccable, and the rythm is steady then it increases in the last chapter.
It’s a lovely story of coming of age, a little sweet and sour (I shed some tears but I may be a bit sensitive).
I am not giving 5 only because I wish there was a little bit more to the plot in the end. Some informations are not all revealed. Well, that leaves some imagination for the reader, bit it’s also a tiny bit frustrating.
Loved it, though. Gaiman is always on top of my favorites writters each year.
