I need to accept the fact that Neil Gaiman is a fabulous author - but perhaps not for me

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.

It was like reading a fairy tale...I enjoyed it, although I'm pretty sure I didn't understand it deeply enough

The world is so big in the eyes of a child.
This is stunning. An amazing fantasy tale mixed with childhood memories. I am at a loss for words. It opens your eyes to see the world as it could be, to see the things around as you used to see them when you were a child.
The world is never ending in the eyes of a child.

Just for one afternoon I’d like to shrink down to the size of an ant, crawl into the right ear of Neil Gaiman, explore the depths of his twisted, beautiful brain, and crawl out of his left nostril. It would be an afternoon well spent.
