As far as the rules regarding gods and humanity was concerned, I couldn't really figure it out. There were many questions, some answers, and other things about the plot I just couldn't get. But I'm still gonna keep it and give it another shot. Maybe after watching the series (or starting it), I might get a better grasp at what eluded me. Some of the questions that were answered were more than satisfying, however, and i just wanted to know more, more, more.
Never read Neil Gaiman before. Definitely a keeper on my shelf.
