I picked this up at the airport after our vacation ended. I had started to read Not Just Friends on the plane and the reality of what we were returning to hit me so I wanted an escape book.

I'd never heard of it. I do like Gaiman's work but wouldn't consider myself an avid fan. It caught my eye in the bookstore and I picked it up.

I made it to page 110 before we got home.

I finished it about a week ago.

Although I think things happen for a reason or a lesson can be found from everything, It isnt' too often in my life that I can identify a moment where I'm like "I was called to that." Upon finishing this book, though, I knew I had been called to it at this point in my life and was led to pick up that book amongst all the hundreds of others.

It had a hard trigger moment. And the entire book left me a bit shaken - but I feel I was meant to read it, and even moreso I was meant to give it to my husband.

I read this book last year sometime...and it really affected me too. Such a...different book. Few books stay with me, but this one did!!

My sister lent me this book last year, and then hounded me for months until I read it. It stuck with me, too.

I enjoyed this book however, after reading "Song of Fire and Ice" (Game of Thrones) I felt read as a chapter not a novel.

Gaiman originally intended this to be a short story. IMO, his original intention was correct.

Great read. Short. Nice distraction. Recommend.

Oh, just the title alone...now I am gonna have to read it!

I listened to the audio version read by the author

yes it's definitely short, especially if you've read Martin!
