    Man guys. Ive always liked Neil Gaiman but this book is, in my opinion, his best yet.

    I just recently bought it, and it is really a page turner(pay no attention to the cliche). Ive only had it for about a day and am already at page 372, and still am not sure whats up with shadow. its just a crazy book that you should pick up if you can, and if not, well. try, or something.

    I'm reading that at work at the moment (I'm a bookseller every Sunday, there are quiet patches). I'm really enjoying it.

    It touches upon a lot that I've been thinking recently. I think it could be shorter though. Whilst I was reading it, I decided to generally avoid fat books (am dyslexic and a slow reader - why do I work in a bookshop again?!). I enjoy thin ones more generally I think and I have a feeling that a lot of authors (Gaiman not included actually) think that big=better. Publishers haven't really brought much out recently that's thin and that just seems silly.

    Much Love
    Sebbi
