Thought-provoking
The concepts are really interesting and (once you get over the sketchy science of the skeins) quite plausible. For my taste, the storytelling was too disjointed and the separate character arcs didn’t come together soon enough. The writing style was sometimes a forced. Overall, a worthwhile read.

Meh. This book was well written but wasn’t satisfying. For most of the book the protagonist wasn’t acting with agency, just reacting to things that happened to him, which just wasn’t that interesting. The ending did answer some mysteries better than I predicted, but the experience overall wasn’t good enough to get me to read the rest of the trilogy.

This book certainly had flaws, but they were forgivable, as it was such an engaging read. It was a book I thought about when I wasn't reading it, and brought me fully into the protagonist's world.
I came to this book as a person who's read 9 or 10 of Stephen King's novels, but none written since the late 80s. So I'm not a die-hard fan, but I have enjoyed his work in the past.
I paid the extra 2 bucks for the "enhanced" e-book edition, which includes a 13 minute video about America in this era. It wasn't worth it. The video didn't add anything. But I was glad to be reading a digital version of the book, because I frequently consulted Wikipedia for information about some of the historic figures and incidents in the novel.

This was my first Neil Gaiman book. As stories go, I think it only deserves three stars. It took a long time for me to be interested in the character. But it is exceptionally well written, and reading the words on the page was a pleasure. As a piece of writing, it's well crafted. So it's better than a run-of-the-mill three-star book. Hence, four stars.
