I read [b:Coraline 17061 Coraline Neil Gaiman https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327871014s/17061.jpg 2834844], [b:Neverwhere 14497 Neverwhere Neil Gaiman https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348747943s/14497.jpg 16534], [b:Stardust 16793 Stardust Neil Gaiman https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328433738s/16793.jpg 3166179], [b:The Graveyard Book 2213661 The Graveyard Book Neil Gaiman https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1303859949s/2213661.jpg 2219449], [b:The Ocean at the End of the Lane 15783514 The Ocean at the End of the Lane Neil Gaiman https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1351914778s/15783514.jpg 21500681] and [b:Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch 12067 Good Omens The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch Terry Pratchett https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1392528568s/12067.jpg 4110990] before [b:American Gods 4407 American Gods (American Gods, #1) Neil Gaiman https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1258417001s/4407.jpg 1970226] and, definitely, this one is the best. Its similarities with Sandman make this book even better than I expected, full of sophisticated discussions that I missed in his other books. I enjoyed a lot the use of Mythologies, one overlapping the other, showing the complex tapestry that is the human mind.
