Review title: As novels go, a stand-out
Product review: Prior to reading this book, I had read (and loved) Gaiman's Adams-esque "Good Omens." However, comparisons must be avoided. This book is in a different ballpark.First of all, the world which Gaiman creates is so engaging. When I finished the book, I found that I missed visiting his world in a way I don't recall experiencing with any other book.Secondly, the story is fascinating. Mixing ancient mythology (a hobby of mine) and great story-telling, he weaves a yarn which works on many levels: sociological commentary on mankind, modern fable, and so on.His style is good, although he's perhaps no Bradbury or Cervantes; but the story is so compelling and his imagination so engrossing that I cannot but highly reccommend it. However, I ought to point out that it is a very graphic book, with some bizarre sexual situations and a lot of violence and language. Watch out for that. But all told, a great book.
