I am going to keep this review short and sweet. The book is very short and I feel like if you read too much into it and look at reviews it will ruin the magic that revolves around this story.

It is a modern fairy tale story that brings about a feeling of nostalgia and childhood. The storytelling is absolutely beautiful and full of fantastic imagery and reminded me of those time in my childhood when everything seemed possible. The main character loves reading and all the worlds and possibilities that they present and really spoke to me and I could relate to him in so many ways. It was dark,eerie and ultimately a haunting novel that produced that fear that we are all so familiar with from our youth. The imagination and mind can poses and create beautiful and wonderful things and Neil Gaiman definitely conveys this throughout the pages of this fantastic story.

There is such truth, sadness and beauty conveyed in a dreamlike state that had a huge impact on me. This is a book that I believe everyone can find a connection to and really speaks to everyones inner child. I believe this will be a book that I will be convincing everyone I know to read!
