Odd and the Frost Giants - Neil Gaiman

The Graveyard Book - Neil Gaiman

I can keep it on its travels. I ended up having 3 books, which were in either bookrings or book rays, and so I desperately needed to finish them! Neil Gaiman is a really good author and is an inspiration to everyone. But only last year, I had never came across such a name and an author. I have to thank one of you guys, because after watching "Stardust" the film, one of you mentioned that it was based on a book, and you also suggested that I should read "Neverwhere" to get a feel for his type of writing. I hold up my hands and announce that I did buy that book in January 2009. So why is there no sign of a review from me on that book? Well, it is on my ...

The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish - Neil Gaiman

the wait. The Day I Swapped my Dad for Two Goldfish is as exquisite as its title is long. A wonderfully simply and classic children s story format, Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean have once again made a successful and unequalled pair of entertainers. I wont give too much of this story away, save the for the fact that it uses a form I have seen before to develop a narrative, as one boy and his sister search for their father after he is swapped for a pair of fish, and then again from child to child creating a hilarious and bizarre series of events. Of course, as Dad is seen as nothing more than a mindless material possession, its fun for kids to realise parents might ...

None of it worked. They handed me a copy of “Good Omens” in the hope that this would change my mind. It did – I became a Neil Gaiman fan virtually overnight. One thing they enthused about that I did take a liking to, however, was Douglas Adams’ “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” I am a relatively recent convert to Hitchhiker’s. I knew it had been a radio series before it became anything else, but I’d never heard it. I knew it had been a TV series at one point, but I’d never seen that. And I knew it had more parts than any other trilogy ever published, and that was how I came to be a fan of the phenomenon that was “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. ...
