I am becoming a great admirer of Gaiman after all! I was very happy to find out more about his perceptions over facts and truth in 'The view from the cheap seat'.

I originally picked this for my 10-year old son and me during a summer road trip. I ended up listening to it by myself. Loved it! Super engaging and a quirky plot. Would love to read and or listen to other books by Neil Gaiman.

I listened to the audiobook, which is the only way to go with Neil Gaiman books--especially if he narrates. A quick read that clears the mind. Gives some scares and some laughs. I liked it.

While this is a "young adults" book, it is still entertaining. And Neil Gaiman is one of the very few authors (in my experience) who is also an excellent narrator.

When this book arrived, I had to look and make sure I had actually ordered it. It isn't my usual fare. I had ordered it in a moment of temporary insanity I guess. I decided to try it as I try to find something to like in any thing I read. A little to my suprise, I found I thoroughly enjoyed it. The story was captivating, the characters entertaining, the reader's style was very fitting. Also, rhe music was excellent and a nice touch.
