I'm sorry but I didn't like this as much as Stardust or Coraline. I struggled to finish it and at the end I realized the story never captured my attention completely as other books by this author had done in the past. As the adventures of Door and Richard unfolded, i felt less and less interested in what was actually going on. I had to re read some parts more than once and when this happens it usually means i'll end up not enjoying the whole book. It was ok but far from being my Gaiman's preferred text.
