Excellent and varied anthology of Gaiman's works, ranging from introductions to albums, speeches, and short works of fiction.
All of it is incredibly readable and fantastically enjoyable.

i got this from a humble bundle and was kind of worried it wasn't all going to flow together because at first it just seemed like a really weird random jumble of stuff he threw together. and i guess that IS what it is but it's still really enjoyable and still flows very well somehow. also i got to read the sentence "George R.R. Martin is not your bitch" straight from neil's keyboard to my screen, so that was amazing. also i got a bunch of book recs out of it, which is always a plus.
As much as I love Gaiman, I was sadly unimpressed with this one. About half of the book was non-fiction, which I had read before in The View From the Cheap Seats while most of the rest was quite old -- from well before Gaiman had developed the voice I've come to know and love.
Siempre es interesante leer los malos trabajos de un autor que a uno le guste, o los primeros que escribió. Cualquier persona que piense en escribir puede darse cuenta que nadie nace sabiendo escribir.
Además, una forma muy interesante de conocer a Gaiman, desde sus cuentos que nadie le quiso publicar a respuestas de blogs y discursos de agradecimiento. Muy interesante.

Kind of an uneven collection for my tastes, but I'm not a huge Gaiman fan to begin with.

A very enjoyable collection of odds and ends to have rattling around your brain later.
Gaiman himself calls it "a collection of B sides." Fair enough.

I really enjoyed this as a 'look behind the scenes' of some of his unpublished stuff. The quality is variable, as is the subject matter (some articles, speeches etc as well as stories) and the ebook edition is full of typos it's a must-read for Gaiman completists.
