A lovely faerie tale, filled with lyrical language. I am reminded of Terry Brooks' Shannara series, but more fanciful. I really enjoyed this book, much more than I expected.
Really enjoyed this story, was hard for me to put it down. I enjoyed the storytelling through the different perspectives throughout. The descriptions of the worlds were the perfect amount of detail while leaving room for imagination to fill in. Plan to read again in the future
A wonderful read, Gaiman knows how to take the reader on a truly delightful journey. It made me want to go on an adventure.
Neil Gaiman prostě umí a zvládne cokoliv. Tentokrát mi vykouzlil úsměv na tváři, což jsem právě nejvíce potřebovala.
Szczerze, zaczynajac tę książkę nie wiedziałam czego się spodziewać. Z tego powodu książka ta była dla mnie miłym zaskoczeniem.
Przyjemna, lekka fantastyka. Trochę trudno było mi się na początku w nia wczuć, jakby świat przedstawiony był zbyt lekko zarysowany, bym mogła go sobie w całości wyobrazić. Ale potem jest o wiele lepiej. W dodatku cała fabuła ładnie się zazębia i to zakończenie… jest idealne. Lepszego trudno sobie wyobrazić.
Książka w sam raz dla kogoś kto chce spróbować fantastyki, ale takiej klasycznej, lekkiej. Bez wielkich walk, romansu i tym podobne.

“It’s a strange place, The Imagination. A lot of fun by day, when there are all sorts of reassuring and familiar sights and people around. But it’s scary, and cold at night, and places you knew perfectly well by daylight aren’t the same after the sun’s gone down.”
Magical! Definitely recommend the audio version read by Neil Gaiman...this was such a treat.

If you ever get a chance to listen to the audiobook version of this book, especially if it is read by the author Neil Gaiman himself, take it. I should mention I'm not sure if there is another version read by anyone else. I really thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was an faerie tale that dipped into adult situations just enough that it wasn't a childs book and yet the story itself wasn't over wrote and was a nice easy read. The descriptions of the journey weren't too detailed (not like the LotR trilogy, wonderful though they are) and there was plenty of entertaining and overall brilliant dialogue. Gaiman has such a great soothing voice and he does wonderful character voices too. The book doesn't take long to get through either. I finished listening to it in one 8 hour shift at work today. Overall a great way to pass the time.
