Read it in a few hours, sit and think, and marvel that Gaiman's stories have the length of a novel but the fateful simplicity – and symmetry – of an intricate fairytale. Good and decent and scarrrrrry.

This is a Gaiman book for sure. I've read a couple of his books and have struggled to get thru them. This one was no different.
