The Absolute Sandman, Vol. 4 (2008)

I'm definitely glad I took my time reading this book. So many of these stories could be great as stand alone tales, but when put together it elevates to something really unique. I was worried about the change in art style in a lot of the issues of this final absolute volume but it didn't bother...

Make Good Art (2013)

Neil Gaiman: great speech, good advice, honest, accepting of the conventional and unconventional, and simple.Chip Kidd: love the layouts, varying from simple to a little less simple, beautiful and uncomplicated color palette, interesting, creative, and just laid out well. A cute little book. Thou...

Instructions (2010)

An odd book. It's not a story. It's not a story about a story. It's what comes before that. These are instructions for how to navigate a story, and by reading these instructions you read the story. It's not a story, but it will create a story in your mind.The language is wonderful, the pictures a...

Snow, Glass, Apples (2008)

A polar opposite version of the fairy tale “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”. Gaiman took the innocent tale of the princess Snow White and has turned it into a grim, disturbing horror story, rendered from the wicked step-mother’s POV.We all grew up hearing the tale of the sweet and innocent Snow...

Beautiful. I literally had tears in my eyes while reading this. I feel super inspired and I'm really glad.

Nothing O'Clock (2013)

В прошлом году весь мир отмечал 50-летие франшизы Doctor Who. В рамках этого празднования издательство Puffin Books (отделение Penguin, полностью посвященное книгам для детей) запустило скромный литературный проект, где популярные британские писатели написали по рассказу про каждого Доктора. Один...

Dr Who: Nothing O'Clock: Eleventh Doctor: 50th Anniversary (2000)

Everyone probably knows this already, but for those who don't Neil Gaiman is a huge Doctor Who fan, and he has already had the pleasure of writing two episodes for Matt Smith's run as the eleventh Doctor. It's no surprise then that he can write a really, really good Doctor Who short story. It, ho...

Unnatural Creatures (2013)

This was neat. I've never read an anthology before, and I think this was a good one to begin with. I really liked the Ozioma and the Wasp/Bee stories, the Griffon and Death stories where a bit boring, and the Sunbird was really predictable. The Prismatica sounded really interesting, thought I was...

The Sleeper and the Spindle (2014)

Reworked fairy tales have become such an overdone genre I almost dread picking them up, particularly those which have zombies thrown in. This novel has two advantages Chris Riddell and Neil Gaiman.Just as The Graveyard Book could have been a dull rehash of the jungle book in lesser hands, this co...

El sueño de plata (2014)

This book was okay. Just okay. I mean...there's the obvious "false advertising" of Gaiman's name in large lettering, even though he did not write alongside Michael Reaves for the sequel. But that disappointment aside, the book is not spectacular because it is simply not well written. There are co...

The Silver Dream (2013)

I was in a bookstore recently when I saw this book. I don't think this book was published with much fanfare, but I was excited to read the sequel to a book I really enjoyed.I read a synopsis of book 1 before starting this and I was very glad I did. This book jumps right into the story and I had...

Click-Clack the Rattlebag (2012)

I downloaded this when it was free on Audible. It's 12 minutes in total, the first 2 minutes Gaiman explains how donations to charity will be based on how many downloads this received. The last 45 seconds was author/recording information. So about 9 minutes of actual story equates to probably 3 t...

The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel, Volume 1 (2014)

I haven't had the chance to read The Graveyard Book in its original form and I was happy enough to have read it in the graphic novel adaptation first. The story, an orphaned boy raised in the unlikeliest of communities, is Neil Gaiman at the height of his powers. The story is dark, cold, warm and...

How To Talk To Girls At Parties (2007)

I really enjoyed this short story. Yes, it's about a boy who thinks of girls as aliens and then surprise, meets actual aliens, but it goes beyond this initial joke and delves into much deeper territory. Enn encounters three "alien beings" who attempt to express their loneliness, quest for knowl...

Istruzioni: Tutto quello che devi sapere per il tuo viaggio (2012)

I have to admit I was expecting a more detailed story, however, by no means I think this book is just OK. If you are expecting a fantasy narrative with well-elaborated characters and a certain degree of complexity, forget it. Instructions is a simple guide for an unknown catlike character go thro...

Chu's First Day at School (2014)

The first line of the book felt out of place: "There was a thing Chu could do." It didn't need to be there, but I realized author Neil Gaiman wanted to set us up early on. It definitely served as a "hook." Otherwise, we may feel like this is another first day of school kind of book...which it is...

Chu's First Day of School Board Book (2000)

I remember how I grabbed Chu's Day from the shelf of a Barnes & Noble store and enjoyed reading the book. Neil Gaiman and Adam Rex are back (and so is Chu!) in this follow-up picturebook, Chu's First Day of School. Although the illustrations in this book were as adorable as those in the first, I ...

Chu's First Day of School (2014)

This is a funny little story about a panda's first day of school. It talks about how nervous he is and how the other kids and the teacher seem a little scary at first but eventually, they connect and find out that school is fun. It would work well with some of the other books about the first da...

The Monarch of the Glen (2000)

I ended up reading this kind of by accident (since I'm out of books, I'd planned on getting to the library today, but it was snowing so badly I decided not to). And I had no idea until a few hours ago that Gaiman had written a novella set after American Gods, so I figured why not. It's probably w...

Hearts, Keys, and Puppetry (2010)

This novella by Neil Gaiman manages to present a profound story about love and forgiveness (of yourself as well as others) in a very short space. It includes Gaiman’s typical poetic brilliance, odd darkness, and compelling characters. It is an intriguing story and an excellently read audio book...

My literary promiscuity being what it is, I have read and loved a lot of novels in many different genres. However, among the beau coup books that I have loved long time there are a select few that hold a special, hallowed place in my pantheon of favorites…American Gods is one of these elite. Gaim...

The King of Elfland's Daughter (1999)

Brought to my attention by this note on the cover : "Introduction by Neil Gaiman." I've been on a good roll where Gaiman is concerned with Neverwhere and The Sandman read this year, so his glowing praise for Lord Dunsany made me put this classic fantasy forward in my queue: "His words sing, like ...

Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders (2006)

’We owe it to each other to tell stories’For years I’ve heard the name Neil Gaiman passed about, weighted with heavy praise, and have always promised myself to read him. Earlier this fall, after hearing him speak on NPR, I sat down with a copy of Coraline, and hungrily read it in one sitting. Des...

SMOKE AND MIRRORS Review, or My Final Review For a While I'm a Neil Gaiman fanboy.

Stardust (2006)

My high expectations for this book (the first I've read of Gaiman's) were badly disappointed. The writing was poor, the story cliché and shallow, and the content problematic. I've read that Gaiman is better with graphic novels, and that seems likely. He obviously has some talent, so I'm hoping th...

InterWorld (2007)

Щом разбрах, че е излязла нова книга на Нийл Геймън, първото нещо което направих бе да отида в книжарницата и да си я купя на мига. Е, моите почитания към Майкъл Рийвс, но честно казано хич не ми пука че присъства като съавтор - нито съм го чувал, нито нищо. Вярно, че е писал сценариите по куп се...

Synners (2001)

What if the tech revolution, instead of being made by start-up and college geeks, was driven by MTV-era creatives? That's essentially Cadigan's premise in this cyberpunk classic. It's impossible, obviously, not to read this 1991 novel with 2014 eyes, but I suspect that simply enriched the experie...

I wanted to love this. I really did. I am a huge Tim Hunter fan from when the original BoM mini-series was released by DC/Vertigo back in 1989, and I've followed most every iteration of the character since then. I love Harry Potter, but Tim will always be closer to my heart because I met him firs...
