3.6 stars. It was a very imaginative plot but Neil Gaiman seemed to keep his writing within a very minimalist style. Kind of like reading a fairytale written for a junior audience, yet the content was most definitely for an adult audience. I felt that the story could benefit from fleshing the characters out more. The second half of the book seemed rushed and touch-and-go. Had great potential to be very emotionally impactful like the movie, but fell a little flat.

My Rating System:
5⭐️: Excellent book AND influenced a change in my views
4.5⭐️: Excellent read

3.5⭐️: Enjoyable read but missing something that will make it great ⬅️⬅️⬅️

2⭐️: Didn't enjoy
1⭐️: Didn't enjoy and had serious issues. Will suggest to avoid.
