While I totally respect the quality of Neil Gaiman's writing in this book, I just don't think that this one was for me. It wasn't something I enjoyed overall, and I don't think I would have been pushed to finish it so quickly if it wasn't' for the fact I'm participating in a readathon this week.

I feel like if this book ever made it to TV screens, it would all be in black and white...because it's so gloomy and depressing. There's not really any character that's bright and cheerful or even a character that I overly liked at all. But at the same time, I didn't loathe any character either, even Mr Town or Mr World.

For a while, it didn't seem if there was any real plot in the book, it seemed to go back and forth for a while with a big scribbling mess in the middle. Very confusing.

I felt the aspects of old gods VS new gods extremely clever, especially considering the new gods ranged from the railroad, to vehicles, and then TV and the internet.

All in all, not a book I would be rereading. I wasn't even pushed to read the novella in the end. I'm giving this three stars instead of two because I can appreciate the fact that Gaiman is an incredible writer. This story, personally, just wasn't one for me.
