Having read two other Gaiman books, American Gods and Neverwhere, I have to say I think this may be my favourite yet! American Gods didn't really do it for me, nothing much seemed to actually HAPPEN (all too abstract for me I think), but this was just brilliant. A nice blend of humour and action that actually kept me engaged the whole way through. So yes. Gaiman is growing on me. (I guess American Gods was not the best one to start with!)
