This is really a mixed bag, there are good moments, boring moments, repetitive moments, and sad moments and if, like me, you dislike Amanda Palmer you'll probably get annoyed at how much talk of her there is in this collection.
Gaiman writes decent fiction but his philosophy isn't all that deep and I can't say that I found it all that interesting to step into the mind of someone who will excuse having awful people listed as their favourite writers (I get it you can enjoy things written by bad people but listing them as a favourite is another pair of shorts altogether). I enjoyed his questioning on the distinction between adult fiction and children's fiction and his pieces on grief and loss which were quite poignant.
