It's been a long time since I couldn't put a book down until I reached the very last page, and then read the author's thank you notes afterwards too in denial that I'd really reached the end.

This book has a very similar tone and feel as The Graveyard Book. It's like the distilled essence of Neil Gaiman at his very best: simple on top but deeply complex underneath, layers and layers I only started to glimpse on the first read-through. It's a short book, 2 hours' read at the most, but it's the kind of book that you reach the end and immediately want to start right back at the beginning and read again. I'm currently trying to convince myself I need to go to sleep now instead of going right back to page 1.
