Not sure why this book got so much hype and 5-star reviews. It's basically a children's story fleshed out into a novel (would have been better as a short story). I had never read a Neil Gaiman book before (or even heard of him) but this title has been at the top of the best seller list for a long time and I was looking forward to reading it. I was very sorry that I didn't like it.

The story is a fantasy that is never explained. It's just a bunch of gobbledy-gook about some strange otherworldly place.

If you like fantasy, read it. If that isn't your cup of tea, I recommend skipping this book.
