Wow. Let me start off by saying, I didn't think this was a book to be read by children. It's SCARY! But then I read a little afterward by Neil Gaiman, where he explained that this is one of the strangest books he has written...In that, children find it to be adventurous and adults find it to be terrifying. I couldn't agree more on the adult part. I flew through this in no time (yes, it is a short book) mostly because I found it to be scary and a book that I just could not put down.

Anyone who is a fan of Neil Gaiman, or a fan of scary books, needs to read this whether you're 8, 18, or 80. it's just THAT DARN GOOD.

I cannot wait to see the movie now, although I'm wondering how frightening that is compared to the book...
