A nice story short enough for me to read while waiting for a flight, and during said flight, minus a few pages. Neil Gaiman going back to his roots of inscrutable cosmic forces seen through the eyes of small but noble humans. It didn't wow me like alot of his other stuff did, but I enjoyed the vibes.
