Death: The High Cost of Living by Neil Gaiman

4.0

Yes, I read this in a day. It's a quick read! And overall I liked it. I can't really offer a helpful review of the novel itself, for whatever reason. I can say that I continue to really like Gaiman's work, and this novel only adds to it. I've only read the first The Sandman novel, and though I wish I'd gotten my hands on the other ones as well, I didn't feel too off reading this book without reading the other Sandman novels.

I see why people are sort of eh about this novel, but it's an enjoyable story involving plenty of mythology and quasi-reality. I like Death's personality and her interactions with Sexton. Well worth the read, overall. If you like Sandman and you like Gaiman, I think you'll at least like this.
