I read this book mostly on recommendations and hype. I've only read one other Neil Gaiman book, Good Omems with Terry Pratchett. I didn't particually care for the book or the style of book. I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed this book. Its not often while reading SciFi/Fantasy that you get to hear about Pasties or Yoopers. I was surprised to find that Pasties are originally from England. I have only heard of these from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I think the book is a fitting assessment of the US from a British Author.
