Is it wrong that I was pleased that the fox finally got his supper in a folk tale? I felt like the silly rabbit finally got his Trix.

This was weird and mostly just boring.

McCarthy is a lonely / sad British man with a distaste for Americans, which resulted in my rolling my eyes a few times through the narrative, but overall it was a solidly humorous account of his solo travels across Ireland. He visited tiny towns and tourist traps and drank impressive quantities of stout, and overall provided the reader with a feel for what it might be like to see Ireland and meet its people.

Neil Gaiman has crafted a book that is a slap in the face of trigger warnings, because, to paraphrase him, life will hurt you without any warning at all. His book is full of horror and magic and love and fantasy and creepiness and revenge. It is a fantastic collection of bizarre fictions and poems and I would recommend highly to any fans of Gaiman, or anyone slightly abnormal.

Absolutely charming. Beautiful art and a touching story.
