Well, Amazon did not deliver the book I wanted today, so I found this in my house. Something has to scratch the book habit itch that I‘ve started in the last few months… Not sure where it came from, but I‘m not mad at it. So far it‘s giving Alice in Londonland. 50 pages in and I‘m intrigued.
Typical Neil Gaiman. Well written, and keeps the wonder of being told mainly from a child perspective while not being written childishly.

Really good story with a lot of humor. Almost like Pratchett. Kind of a loser finds love and self-expression dealing with his brother, Spider. I have not seen the TV series.

This was a hard one to get into because it doesn‘t follow the same main character and it was so slow in the beginning. What I really enjoyed about American Gods was the complexity of the problems and all the gods we got to experience. It took a really long time to experience any of that magically portion which caused me to drag my feet reading this. That being said, once those elements were back in the story, I was flying through the book.
Working in the justice system I‘ve had a front row seat to a lot of injustices - both to victims and offenders (and offenders who shouldn‘t be offenders), so I‘m always hesitant to weigh in at the first information. If you haven‘t read the full article, do but know it‘s graphic. He isn‘t disputing the events happened just consent. There‘s enough smoke that I feel confident the fire was real for a long time and a lot of people knew. Beyond sad.
There are but a few near-perfect novels that have ever been written. Of course we don't all agree on what they are. It takes reading thousands of pages to find near-perfects - which I will just refer to here as marbles because they are complete, polished, both ethereal and hardened, and have mysterious depth. Some are never found. This is a found marble.
