This was my first Neil Gaiman, which is shocking given how prolific and well-known he is.  I was not disappointed.  Gaiman offered me a new world that I was hungry to imagine and know.  This book had strong women, imagination, a villain who is also a victim, grief, loss, immortality, a farm, an ocean that was a lake.  It was a reflection of the narrator, looking back on his childhood.  I cannot wait to read more Gaiman.
