Darling Dot, why am I not in the least surprised? :sun I liked it, it is his latest adult book and I rather enjoyed it. It wasn't as good as American Gods but it was still very enjoyable. Several characters shine, the grandmother in particular, and he has lots of fun with a new mythos. I found the end strangely sad though I don't suppose it was meant to be. Have you read the Grave yard book? That one was very fun. My reading time is limited but Gaimain's always a good bet. I have the first of the Sharpe books on order at the library!
