I found it boring 
A bit slow 
Then i thought maybe it was a children's book 
But children won't understand what was going on 
Coz till half of the book i didn't 
.
Good imagination no doubt 
But I think the world should have developed more 
It felt half baked 🙈
.
I feel bad to say such a thing for such a famous and brilliant author 
But this book no 
Please

An incredible story about a boy that learns about the world around him and how to take on adversity from unique characters that are mysterious but also insightful.

Do not read this expecting Sandman or Stardust or Good Omens. It’s not a matter of quality, it’s a matter of completely different genres.
