This was such a good book -- I'm really glad I came across it, because I thoroughly enjoyed every second. It has an excellent cast of characters (Grahame Coats being my absolute favourite, just out of his sheer lunacy) and really well-timed humour, and Neil Gaiman is a master of description. He has this wonderful way of creating the perfect atmosphere and really making you feel like you're there. I'm super excited to know that this is going to be adapted now, because so much of it would work really well visually. I can't wait to see it on screen! 

I loved the ending too, especially the way it kind of wrapped everything up nicely and tied back to the beginning.
