Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman

3.0

I must admit I was quite disappointed by this book overall. Yes there are some real gems within its pages but many of the stories felt a little neglected and unfinished compared to his other work. The first few stories I thoroughly enjoyed including 'the Wedding Present' which was hidden within the introduction and the last two tales, Murder Mysteries and Snow, Glass, Apples, were brilliant. However the stories and poems in between left me unmoved and a little let down, given the high standard that Gaiman has set himself elsewhere.
