Reviews

Since publishing the 'Sandman' comics, Neil Gaiman has gained an infinite licence to print fairy tales set in that universe. This one is a Japanese-inspired tale of sorcery and doomed love with illustrations to match. Sandman lovers will note various references to the original series, both literary and graphical.

DNF @ 55%. I know this is supposed to be one of "the funniest books ever", and there were moments that did make me smile, but weren't outrageously funny. Mostly I'm afraid I found it a bit tedious and boring. I can feel myself slipping into a slump because of it, so... Sorry! On to the next. I will probably check out the miniseries eventually - I do love David Tennant.

This was probably well liked 20 years ago. It is a cross between "a hitchhikers guide to the universe" and a Monty python sketch with a bit of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring thrown in for good measure.
