Review title: gaiman = overrated
Product review: I'm not sure what I expected when I picked up this book, but after all the ranting and slavering from gaiman fans, I at least expected it to be entertaining and possibly interesting. I thought that I didn't have unreasonable expectations for this novel, but sadly they were too high for the experience.Let me put it in perspective for you and save you a few hundred pages of boredom:- characters superficial, non-interesting, and only rarely had something clever to say.- a lot of gradual buildup to go nowhere. where is my act III, mister gaiman?seriously. if you're looking for some gothy angsty gods and depressed misanthrope protagonists, go read some buffy the vampire slayer fan fiction or something and save yourself the cover price. This book doesn't have any surprises in it, but does have a few places in the country that fans of the author can road trip to and fornicate on. That's the silver lining to this snoozefest.
