I've read The Ocean at the End of the Lane before, but it's been so long and I remembered almost nothing. This book was creepy and puzzling and mind boggling. Overall I enjoyed it but I'm also not quite sure what to do with the ending. I do think Gaiman really expresses the reality of being a little kid and bringing a little kid's fears to life and the mistakes of parenting and how those affect a kid. 3.5 stars
