So I'm about halfway through and I like it so far. A few chapters ago I thought "this writing style is familiar" so I looked up the author and realized he wrote Coraline by Neil Gaiman . I like this much better than Coraline, although there are some gross parts.

So I enjoyed it. It was a quick and strange read. I couldn't quite put my thoughts together after I finished it, it was too strange.

It's okay. This one is a total quick read. :)

I read it last month and I thought it was a bit strange, but in a good way. I've never actually really read any "magic realism" books before (not that I can remember), so this was ... particularly interesting. It was also my first introduction to Neil Gaiman.

I can't say I loved it. I didn't dislike it, either. I thought it was all right. I ended up rating it a 3.5 stars, which rounded up to a 4 on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ. I do want to read some of his other works - I heard American Gods is really good and The Sandman (I think).

I felt about the same about this book. After I finished it, I didn't quite now what to think. But a while later I realized that I really enjoyed it. I'd like to read more of his books too.
