Not as good as the movie. Enjoyed the whimsy, but it was lacking some heart, or something. The characters were pretty flat.

After seeing the movie a while back I had to read this novel. Neil Gaiman is a strange author and if I didn't like one or two books I keep reading because it seems everyone loves him. With this book I had mixed feelings. Having seen the movie and then the book I must say that I enjoyed more the film. Maybe it's just me but those extra scenes in the movie may them a good relaxing movie and with the book was ending to fast. I really didn't enjoy it. My rating is most of all because of the funny comments and the world itself (even if not explored) and the fighting between the princes. The rest of the book is not that good and I thought the main characters a little two-sided... I can't understand what people like these book so much. I must read a couple of reviews because I really didn't understand. But I will not stop reading Neil Gaiman. I believe that he can make a good book... Look at American Gods.

Nopealukuinen fantasiaseikkailu, viihdytti muttei koskettanut. Loppu oli ennakoitavissa, minkä lisäksi se oli melko laimea. Matkan varrella kuitenkin muutamia oivalluksia ja yllätyksiä, jotka pitivät lukuintoa yllä.
I love this story but it's the first book I have read where I actually like the movie more than the book itself. It seems like Neil wrote in a way that wasn't quite as refined as some of his other stories.
Decided to bring a childhood classic to life by sourcing its root. In my opinion, it’s very rare that the film is better than the original text. Unfortunately, this is an example of that. Not a bad book, don’t get me wrong, but the film had got it just right.
