Give Neil a chance!I really like Neil Gaiman. Not one of these rabid fan boys though. He HAS faults and is NOT the greatest writer to walk the planet, not even close to it. But he is very good IMHO
As I have said, I really like him. I read Coraline and did not really like it much at all. If you are brave try "stardust" or "american gods" they are much better
love the twin peaks feel to american gods. The ending sucks though lol

SillyWabbit said:I'm SO with you on ths!!! I really HATED the characters in the book for being so damn stupid. I would be screaming at the book and getting so irritated lol I made it up to about half way though the third book and I STILL had no idea who the raiders were and nor did I care. Bollocks.

I'm picky and skeptical and generally more interested in the male creative mind.
