Having already seen the movie (and loved it!) I was amazed to find this in the bookstore the other day. For some reason it didn't even register that the film had been based on a book! My first Neil Gaiman book, and I really liked it. Definitely more adult than the film but in all the right places. I was really impressed with Gaiman's writing style, and felt myself completely drawn into the amazing world he had created. I think I read almost 200 pages in one day, after I gave myself enough time to really get into the book and stop getting distracted by other things (Like work. What gives, job?!). Definitely interested in reading some others by him now. And I want to see the movie again!!
