I really enjoyed the book. I contains his short stories, and I found it a great way to get into his writing. Some of the stories are longer but some are only a page or two, yet all of them have something special
One of my favorite authors of all time. I thought I'd be chewing on this for a long time because it's a very long book, and it's a compilation of short stories. It seemed like the kind of thing I'd pick up and put down in between other books. Not so. Every time I wanted to read(listen), I went straight for this and ignored all other books. I didn't love or even like all of the stories, but the ones I loved, I REALLY loved.
I recommend listening to his writing as audiobooks narrated by himself. He's a spectacular narrator, the best I've ever heard. The audiobook is 27+ hours long, and I took it down in a matter of weeks. Wishing there was more. Will probably immediately pick up another Gaiman book.

You sir, Neil, are a treasure. I’m so thankful you allowed your readers to follow along on your journey. Your early writings were wonderful, but your elegance in writing and in story telling has grown dramatically!
Thank you for sharing your brain

An outstanding selection of Neil Gaiman's work. This is a great place to start if you've never read Gaiman. It's a wonderful bunch of friends to revisit if you're an old fan, too. If I could give this book higher than a 5 star rating, I would!

If you’re a Gaiman fan, you need to read these stories. If you’re not a Gaiman fan, sit down, choose a story at random and become a Gaiman fan. This is an almost perfect collection of his work to date.
If you sit and read this cover-to-cover, it’s fascinating to see his style grow, adapt and develop with time. However, each piece is so wonderfully self-contained that I know I will find myself sitting down at various points in the future to pick out random stories to re-read. There’s quirky, amusing 2-pagers, there’s deeply emotional, hard-hitting drama, and there’s everything in between. I will treasure this collection for a long time.
