Neil Gaiman is by no means a common children's book writer; nor is he a noobie when it comes to weaving together a tale with both innocence and darkness.  In some respects, he could be considered a more PG-rated version of Tim Burton. Most of his books resonate with me the same way the later Harry Potter books did. It feels like a young reader's kind of book but possesses that adult quality that pulls older readers in.

And the people who do read this...well, a couple of them are my best friends, but other than that...well. The other people don't count.
