The Good Fairies of New York by Martin Millar

4.0

I bought this book largely because of Neil Gaiman gushing over it in his blog, some years back. It's been sitting on my shelf (ok, shelves) of unread books for ages, not because I didn't want to read it, but because it never felt quite right.

It's a rather lovely story, really, it starts off feeling a bit irrelevant and fluffy, but there are some sharp observations in it as well, and while I think it suffered by being sandwiched between [b:The Telling|391729|The Tell-Tale Heart (Bantam Classics)|Edgar Allan Poe|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174399964s/391729.jpg|1383053] and [b:The Dispossessed|13651|The Dispossessed An Ambiguous Utopia|Ursula K. Le Guin|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166571463s/13651.jpg|2684122], it is most certainly worth a read.
