fun but I don't understand the hype

Pretty delightful. I actually really enjoyed the details that the movie added, though. I also think Gaimam's comments are spot on, that children reading this book just see a fun adventure story, but adults are truly creeped out...yep, I was creeped out, particularly by the movie images.

Final thoughts based on notes:

As a quick read, it's a perfect story to kick off spooky season with. If you love the movie then you will definitely love the book just as much. It was a lot of fun seeing how similar the book and movie are, as well as things that were done differently.

This was a fun and fast read!
Would recommend if you liked other Neil Gaman's books.

Wonderful and at times truly creepy. I love Gaiman's writing style and hearing it read in his own voice. I especially love how he voices the rats!

Thoroughly enjoyed the story and P.Craig's fitting artwork. A great Halloween Read.

A little bit scary for the targeted age range, but not too much, and a girl who kicks ass because she has to even though she's scared. And a black cat familiar.

I read this because I bought it for my kid to listen to/read on a long journey. She liked it, which was the point.

Wonderfully whimsical tale that once again shows Gaiman's marvellous use of the strange and absurd to deliver commentary on the mundane and ordinary things in everyday life.

The narration by the author himself really makes this an amazing listen.

Ah, zalig, griezelig jeugdverhaal. En verrassend goed voorgelezen door Neil Gaiman.
