Admittedly it took a while for me to finish this book of short stories as compared to when I read Philip K. Dick’s collection of short stories “Minority Report”. I felt like I had to take my time with each piece, as Gaiman’s pieces were very atmospheric and full of character. I also didn’t read it in order, as I moved through the book depending on how much time I had to spare to read. Although I didn’t love every single piece, there were plenty of standouts, and overall I was surprised at how much I did enjoy reading it. I also liked the fact that you could read the piece then go back to the front of the book to read his little blurbs or reflections about said piece. I wasn’t fond of the poems; I loved the Doctor Who story Nothing O’Clock, Orange, Click Clack the Rattlebag, A Calendar of Tales. I absolutely adored The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains”.
