If you are looking for a really good story, and by story i mean a tale like a “grown up and flown away come into its own grown old and left the one last greatest and most profound moral of all” fable... read any of Neil Gaimans' novels or short stories or writings of any kind.

I absolutely loved this book, much as i love everything Neil writes. He is a born storyteller and it certainly shows. I have read many reviews saying that although this was a terrific book, American Gods will always be better. I haven't read that one yet, i have no clue what drove me to read this one first as the other one technically is the first book, but i know it will be amazing.

I started this book ages ago and read a couple chapters and let it sit until life had calmed down, i sat down the other day and read it all in one day. I shouldn't do that because i inevitably will miss many parts. I didnt mind this time because i will 100% absatively be reading this many more times in the future.
