Started a little slow for me as I didn't really care for any of the characters. The narrator (never given a name) wasn't interesting until Lettie was a part of the story. Lettie's family was undefined but seemed to be witches and then just otherworld beings but were really the stars of the story. The boy was really just there to move the story along but was mostly unnecessary. Once the action started picking up, I really enjoyed the story and the whole world Gaiman managed to create in so few pages. I would like to see a sequel or prequel of this focusing on the Hempstock's family and their farm.
