 Only Neil Gaiman could write a book like this. It alternates somberly serious themes with the image of death as a young goth girl who takes everything in stride, good or bad. And that's the point, the theme is that to appreciate the good things in life, you have to accept that there are also moments that are not so pleasant. His book leaves you profoundly pondering the nature of life and death.
