Neil Gaiman infuriates me constantly because I do genuinely like most of his work and find it to be quite fun and engaging, but he also consistently sticks his foot in his mouth too often for my liking.

Still, this story is very well-done and fun. It's a little dark, and the illustrations highlight this. They're all gorgeous and engaging, building upon the story that's been written. It feels like a camp story, and it doesn't feel like it talks down to the audience. This is something that is definitely better read aloud and amongst people, but it's still good on your own.
