So. Good.

This was such a strange book. Overall I really enjoyed it (especially since I listened to the audiobook,. narrated by Neil Gaiman himself) but I think this one was possibly on the cusp of a little too weird for me. I can't get the visual of that foot-worm out of my mind. XD

This was....fantastic in every sense of the word. I read this because one of my dearest high school English teachers loves Neil Gaiman, and now I am compelled to read everything by him.

It was just not for me, there was no point of the mystery and the origin of the "people beyond the ocean from the old country", and it got repetitive and boring really fast, too grownup for children to read and too childish and irrelevant for adults.
