Reviews

"There is a stark simplicity in Mr. Gaiman's prose in this deceptively dark tale of how far men will go to achieve their heart's desire only to find that the achievement pales in comparison to the desiring." -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette"Gaimain (Anansi Boys) has crafted a fresh story of magic, humanity, loyalty, and memories 'waiting at the edges of things, ' where lost innocence can be restored as long as someone is willing to bear the cost." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE"Part fable, part fairy tale and part cautionary tale, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is by turns hauntingly beautiful, painfully intense, funny, witty, wise, scary, and heart wrenchingly sad." -- SFRevu on THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE"A terrifying shift in the nature of things lies at the heart of Neil Gaimain's rich new novel." -- The Guardian on THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE"Poignant and heartbreaking, eloquent and frightening, impeccably rendered, it's a fable that reminds us how our lives are shaped by childhood experiences, what we gain from them and the price we pay." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE"[T]here isn't much Gaiman can't do when it comes to writing." -- Denver Post on ANANSI BOYS"A hybrid of folk tale and farce that freely partakes of the comic wealth in each, slipping effortlessly back and forth between them . . .

R. Martin on AMERICAN GODS
