Helpful Score: 1

I picked this book up yesterday and read until 2am, finishing it, and immediately gave it to my 19 year old to read. Devastating, awe-inspiring, amazing. I haven't had a book grab me like this in a long time, I had to see it through to the end. Fortunately, it is not a terribly long book so it let me have some sleep.

It seems odd to say, but I think that this short novel is wonderful the way it is. Usually I would want something so well-written to continue but this story feels complete in it's incompleteness. There are many unanswered questions, many threads left loose, but it all feels right and seems to fit this story. I will be thinking about this tale for a long time to come and I know I will be rereading it, passing it along and giving it out as a gift to those I love who haven't read it.

An absolute must for fans of Neil Gaiman and a great introduction for any who haven't read him yet. Haunting.
