A review by podanotherjessi
Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman

dark funny slow-paced

2.75

This was a really weird story collection, which I guess makes sense, all things considered. I love Gaiman's prose, and he has a great narrator voice in the audiobook. But the stories felt so disparate that switching from one to another didn't make sense. None of the stories really seemed to have endings; they just kind of ended. Plus a lot (I mean A LOT) of masturbation in these stories. A bit too much, if you ask me. Also, it's a little nitpicky, but I didn't like that the intros to the stories were all at the start of the book. I much prefer to hear the story behind the story immediately before reading that story.
