Well when I started reading I was pretty sure this book would make me cry. It did.
It's an absolutely beautiful book both the prose and Elise Hurst's illustrations. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes Neil Gaiman's writing even just a little bit.

I dont know about his adult books but from now on, I’m going to only read his children and ya books in audiobook format, especially if they’re narrated by him. He has a writing style that tells a story, which means, in my personal opinion, that it is better told through oral story format.
