Not his best book. The story is a cliché. There're way too many stories like this.
Still, I enjoyed it and It made me laugh. Reminded me a lot about the stories my dad told me when I was little.

Fortunately, the Milk
This, this was just the most epic book I have read this year. It was cute, fluffy and it combined Aliens, Natives, Pirates, Dinosaurs, Dwarves, Wumpires and of course the Milk and so much more in one complete insane, wonderful story!
The images in the book really complete the story and make it even more funny. I love to see the characters, to see imagination turn real with these pictures. The Natives were funny, though I was shivering at the image of one with his ears being one big hole and stretched out. *shivers*
Other than that, it was wonderful, and I will be sure to buy this book for my collection. Thank you Neil Gaiman!
Illustrations would get **** stars.
I will be soon reading the Chris Riddell version of this book. :)

Fortunately, the Milk
This, this was just the most epic book I have read this year. It was cute, fluffy and it combined Aliens, Natives, Pirates, Dinosaurs, Dwarves, Wumpires and of course the Milk and so much more in one complete insane, wonderful story!
It was a bit confusing considering that there are 2 different books, same story, but different artists and also slightly different titles (Fortunately, the Milk and Fortunately, the Milk. . .. I was already wondering what happened to Chris Riddell's style of drawing. And then I found this: http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2013/08/fortunately-book-explained.html
Even Neil Gaiman was a bit confused.
So of course I had to read and buy the Chris Riddell version! And what an improvement. Sorry to the other illustrator, your work was also lovely, but nothing can tip Chris Riddel's art. It was just wonderful and beautiful, and also it was funny to see how much the father looked like Neil Gaiman.
It was a wonderful book, and the illustrations will get a *****+ stars (if only I could do that!). Thanks Neil Gaiman, thanks Chris Riddell! Hope you two will continue working together for a long time.
