A review by tvrandhavane
Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fictions and Illusions by Neil Gaiman

4.0

Children are very creative and can imagine monsters, fairies, and what not in things around themselves like shadows, clouds, patterns in muddy water. As we grow older, this imagination slowly fades and we become more rigid, more pinned to reality and rationality. Gaiman not only shows glimpses of what we have lost in this book but also helps us find it a little. The book motivated me to find childish imagination and think about something beyond reality.

I would give it 5 stars, but some stories do fall flat.
