Once again you've exposed a book that I would enjoy checking out. The graphic novel (2 vols) appeals to me, but I also will check out the epub for the writing. Thanks again.
@Greg_M1 I hope you enjoy it. Yes, I should have mentioned the second volume of the graphical novel. I prefer the illustrations in the first, the second volume includes several artists, and I think as a consequence, it doesn't seem to be as unified.
@CptSamelsSigils you're welcome. My review may have come across as a bit spoopy, but I don't think that's true of the novel. I would say it was darker than it was humorous, but some may read it as spoopy. You may want to try it out and report back 😉👍
Been thinking I might read this with my 9th graders. Stardust was a bit over their heads, and it was a lot more work than I should've had to do to teach it, but boy did they love it.
I have not read this one but in an incredible coincidence, I'm just finishing up The Ocean at the End of the Lane. ( Aren't all coincidences incredible?) Just as you say it's very evocative and written in a charming style. It's like a scary fable that would probably scare a lot of kids. I read American Gods a few years ago and was immediately taken with the story. The weird thing is I couldn't tell you what it was about today because all those gods have wandered away into the mist or more accurately cannabis smoke. I remember it was about a down and out convict after he was released from prison and that's about it.
@stephenmorton8017 I always like a coincidence 😄 I need to reread American God's for the ladder. It's going to be interesting to see just how much I will remember as I start reading. Like you, I would struggle telling you exactly what it was about right now😄

Sounds too spoopy for me m8 but I’m glad to hear that you really enjoyed it. Thanks for your review!
