This is such a strange book to rate. I found myself pulled into Gaiman's writing and world, and intrigued by the child's perspective. Months later, I'm still thinking about this, and that's always a sign of something good. One I could definitely see myself coming back to again.
Graphic: Child abuse, Death, and Torture
Moderate: Animal death and Suicide
Minor: Sexual content
