I actually really, really enjoyed this book. It’s not at all what I expected, but I think that it’s everything that I needed out of this book. It was an interesting and very very real take on America, I think, which is pretty amazing from an English author. The characters were nuanced and felt authentic, and it has a meandering storyline, but one that unfolds in front of you and makes you realize that every word was intentional. This was my first Gaiman book, and I definitely plan on reading more.
