Well, this was just fun. I saw the movie years ago, before I knew who Neil Gaiman was, and I went in with no expectations. I remember being surprised at how much I enjoyed the movie, and that’s about it. A few years later, I picked up the book after finishing Gaiman’s American Gods, without realizing that this was the book the movie was based on. And now after reading the book, I want to watch the movie again. The story has all the elements […]
Fortunately, there’s no page limit.
Yeah, that’s right, I’m reviewing a short kids book. A girl’s gotta make up time somehow. However, I did throw in a review for Chu’s Day as a bonus.
Coraline – Review #6 for AamilTheCamel
Sixth book reviewed as part of the 130 Challenge. Also my 50th blog post! Yahoo! Let me tell you first that I read this entire book in a British accent, and might I add, it was a delightful experience! I suggest that you try it too.

While my first two novels appear to be unread as part of Cannonball Read, I am absolutely positive that my third choice of book has been reviewed multiple times. After years of owning the novel, I finally picked up Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere. My sister purchased it for me many years ago, as I have a fascination for the London Underground system. I am glad I waited until now to read it, as I was a bit of snoot back in my younger days and could […]
Is Anything As It Seems?
My first venture into the fiction of Neil Gaiman, and I was not disappointed. In this tale of the fantastical, we are reminded that nothing–be it people, monsters, or oceans–are what they seem to be. Read the full review here.
We Open at the Close…
I’m not sure why it took me so long to finish Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series, after the first volume grabbed my attention and imagination so thoroughly. But slowly, as I read through more instalments, I saw that the series was scattered with highs and lows. The tenth and final volume, The Wake, is a somber affair, regarding the events immediately following the “death,” of Morpheus, the Lord of Dreaming. But just like Despair before him, his death is more of a regeneration, if you will, […]
