I typically love Neil Gaiman, but this was just not my cup of tea. The number of stories that referenced sex and other things related to sex was a bit much for me. And it wasn't even spicy...it was just gratuitous. And I do enjoy spice if done well.
I ended up skipping a bunch of stories and honestly not absorbing others in the way I normally do.
There were a couple of good stories such as Troll Bridge and The Goldfish Pool, but I was a bit let down by the others.
