The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
5.0
Captivating read
It’s been a while since I devoured a book in less than a day, but I could not stop reading this once I had begun. I came to this book knowing very little about it, and I’m glad that’s how it was. Approaching this story with the naïveté of a child definitely serves a reader well. And experiencing this story in first person had tremendous effect for both the fantasy elements and to explore the persistence (or lack thereof) of memory.
