I read the 10th anniversary edition with the extended, author-preferred text.

At times the book felt like it dragged on. I think part of it might just be that I usually read books with shorter chapters while this book had fairly long chapters. It’s a really hard story to describe, but it has a long of really interesting moments.

Neil Gaimen has really great prose and dialogue, but my god does he use those abilities for evil sometimes. Fascinating book. Incredibly long.
