Un libro mágico creado por una mente muy imaginativa y que nos envía a un mundo casi igual que el nuestro, perfectamente reconocible, pero mucho más amplio. La pluma es sencilla, pero tiene una delicadeza muy adecuada para la historia. Preciosa, realmente.

This book was just... uncomfortable. The writing was pretentious, the characters has literally no personality and everyone was just miserable for the sake of being miserable. I didn't feel as though I gained anything from having read this book. I felt like it jumped all over the place and someone kept hitting the skip button on this story. I know Gaiman is a beloved author in the community, but after reading this, I'm not sure why.

Read this on my way back from Denver, the entire book. This is not a long book but the story telling is fantastic and Gaiman really gets you hooked and makes you absolutely care for the characters.
Hay veces que un libro viene en el momento adecuado. Creo que estas es una de esas veces.
Ha sido una gran experiencia pero sobre todo lo que me ha llamado la atencion ha sido que Neil Gaiman parece tener la idea de que siempre te puede quedar esperanza y agarrarse a esto es suficiente para seguir adelante, incluso cuando todo lo demas falle.
ikinci neil kitabım. fakat nedensiz doğduğum vakitten beri kendisini okuyormuşum gibi hissediyorum.
tarif edemeyeceğim hisler içerisinde bayıldım kitaba. sebepsiz.

I really enjoyed this audio book. It was narrated by the author and he did a great job with the audio.
I don't really know how to rate this book, or review it. If you ask me what it was about, I don't know that I could articulate enough of a coherent description to get you to truly understand that I did enjoy it, even if I can't tell you why. It's magical without explaining the magic.
A man goes back to his childhood town for a funeral, he drives by where his old home used to stand, and to his old friends house for a visit.
The whole book is his memory of just a few days when he was 7 years old and his friend Lottie lived at the end of the lane.
It was beautifully written, had so much detail, yet no detail at the same time. For example I could almost taste the honeycomb he was eating it was almost tangible to me, but our man has no name provided to us.
Very quick read, just a 5 hour audio book, maybe even 4 if you remove acknowledgments at the end. Worth the time, worth the daydream it provides for you.
