The Ocean at the End of the Lane
by Neil Gaiman
Fantastic, my first Gaiman book and I’ll be getting another. I was intrigued by American gods on HBO and sought out a little book to see if the writer was someone I wanted to read more of.
This book is going to my son (30) now as I think it speaks to the soul and the memories made at 6-7 and how we construct our childhood and friends real and imagined, monsters real and imagined.
“And did I pass?”
The face of the old woman on my right was unreadable in the gathering dusk. On my left the younger woman said “you don’t pass or fail at being a person, dear.”
A small part of my mind remembered an alternate pattern of events then lost it, as if I had woken from a comfortable sleep and looked around, pulled the bedclothes over me, and returned to my dream.
