I had to read this book for class and wasn't planning on reviewing it at all due to the allegations against Neil Gaiman. But you know what? I'm going to review it. 

I'm glad that I did read it if only to confirm to myself that I really don't like Neil Gaiman's writing style (which I had initially suspected after reading American Gods years ago). 

And also, real fucked up that the dad in this book has an affair with the Evil Nanny. I know this was written more than nine years before the incident actually occured, but wow, does that ever cast a certain light onto things.
