I enjoyed the book because I generally enjoy Neil Gaiman's writing. But I think the reason I didn't like this book as much as I thought I would is because I watched the movie adaptation first. Shame on me, I know. Especially since I liked the movie much better. There were things that the movie changed that I found myself missing in the book. And I understand why the movie made the changes they did, and I honestly preferred them. Still, definitely worth the read.
