Some bits were very impactful. It's very much his style so it's not too surprising but it's done pretty well. It won't change your life but it was a fun (ish) few hours. Some of the lore was a little unclear but it's only a little book so I am more forgiving.
Shame he is (allegedly) a nasty man.

God, what a beautiful book. I hope Lettie Hempstock is sleeping peacefully in the ocean.

Like a memory half shrouded, Gaiman's short novel has fuzzy borders; it's not really one thing or another and it's meaning will probably change over time. At times wistful, full of whimsy and others horrifying, facing a nightmare through child eyes. As with some memories, this had some vague feeling of being incomplete and I can't help feel it was on purpose. Memories are full if color and emotion and fire, but the meaning of them depends on you and what you do with them even as they fade.

Neil Gaiman always writes such creative stories, but this one was a little too odd for me. It was also a little slow, despite being such a short book.
