I couldn't decide between giving this book 3 stars or 5 stars, so I settled on 4. Neil Gaiman certainly has a talent for his craft. Excellent author, hence the 5 stars (although I'll never read Gaiman again). I vacillated between loving and hating this book throughout. If I'm fully honest, it was not an enjoyable read. I either have to take pleasure in reading or learn something. The 3 is for the conflicting feelings I had. So I guess we'll go with a solid 4.
I hope someday I can teach this book to a class of my own just so I can actually make other people read it. Best book I've read since Name of the Wind, but amazing in a totally different way. Ahhh just f*cking phenomenal.
I’ve been wanting to read this author for a long time. I’ve had this book and never had the motivation to really take the time to get Into it. Well, I finally did.
The writing itself is great. Amazing descriptions and characters are built well. The first half of the book was slow for me. I struggled to stay invested in the story. About half way through, I became more interested and read more at a time. The end wrapped up really well and everything was tied together in a satisfying way. I would say this is more of a 3.5 star book, just as some parts are slow and it’s a very slow build. The story is really between the lines.

Reading this was like staring into an abyss.

He's always seemed a little too satisfied with his apparent brilliance, but I've never seen it. Dead wood.

There's nothing wrong with the book; I'm just not feeling it right now.
