3.5/5 Stars 
 It took two sittings to fly through this fast-past middle grade read. Had I not started it at 3AM I would have read it in 1 sitting. This was my first time reading this book as well as the first time I've read a Neil Gaiman book and I THOROUGHLY enjoyed myself. I find middle grade to be too predictable at times and even though I've seen the film adaptation of this book it still kept me on my toes at time. I would definitely recommend this to older fans of middle grade as well as the target age group for middle grade books :)
