I’ve always respected the fact that Gaiman does the voice over for his own audio novels. Based on all the experiences I’ve had with him, I can’t imagine he’d be anything other than terrific at that medium of storytelling as well. The only thing stopping me from checking them out is the high cost of audio books.

Glad you enjoyed Graveyard Book so much. It was a wonderful read and, like all Gaiman’s books, it leaves you wishing he was a faster writer!!! If you like audio books at all I certainly recommend picking this up on audio. I read it first and then listened to it a month later and it is divine listening to Neil read it.

Stardust, for lack of a better word, is magical. It is one that I can reread over and over again. For me though, Neverwhere will always be my favorite of Gaiman’s works, probably in large part because it was the first of his novels that I read. I love the characters and the merging of the real world with the invisible one. Very creative. He is a master, no doubt about it.

yup, i’ll second that. I loved this book and bought a second copy for some friends at Christmas. I can’t wait to see Coraline, the book creeped me out totally.

Hello! I discovered your blog a few days ago and I’ve already added it to my favourites!

As a fan of Gaiman’s books (he’s my favourite writer!), I’m very sad with teh Portuguese publisher of Gaiman =( We only have the portuguese translation of Neverwhere (one of my favourites books ever), Anansi Boys, Stardust, Coraline and Good Omens (with Pratchett), and I REALLY want to read American Gods *.*

I’ll keep reading

I concur with Ana–what you said I loved [i]The Graveyard Book[/i]. Heck, I think I’ve loved everything Gaiman has written (well, of what works of his I have read). I’m excited for the film adaptation of [i]Coraline[/i]! I wonder if Hollywood will go down that route with [i]The Graveyard Book[/i]…

Ana - You give me too much credit! edifanob - If you liked Stardust in the theatre, you're sure to love the novel. Frankly Neverwhere is easily Gaiman's weakest novel and he grows by leaps and bounds with each release. Definitely add him high on your 'To-read' list.

I liked both stories. I got recommendations for
