I've read Smoke and Mirrors, American Gods and Good Omens, that's all. That was enough.
I know. I'm the only person on the planet who really does not like Gaiman.
I also don't like it when anyone co-writes with Sir Terry. They dilute him.

You know when someone says they don't like something like...say...kittens or ice-cream or sunshine, and you think "my god! what kind of person is that!" I always feel like "that" person when I say I don't like Gaiman

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I don't like all his books, just some of them.

 

[Antiq]

I don't like all his books, just some of them.

Well that's a bit of a relief

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Well 75% I like, the others I'm not bothered about.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

I gave up on Neverwhere. Only other one I've read is Good Omens, and I read that at least once a year.

Fabulous book!

Graveyard book is still one of the best "all age" books I've read.
Well worth a try even if you didn't like some of his other stuff.

I enjoyed Graveyard Book, Coraline, American Gods, Stardust, Neverwhere and Anansi Boys. I wasn't too fussed on Smoke and Mirrors though.

 

[pip]

There were one or two good stories in Smoke and Mirrors and in Fragile Things but a few are a bit too much from left field to be honest.

 

[Dotsie]

I liked The Graveyard Book, Coraline, American Gods, Stardust, and Anansi Boys. I didn't like Neverwhere, and I haven't read the others.

 

[pip]

Neverwhere is a tad confused as its made the wrong way round, tv first then book. it felt like missing bits were being crammed in . I liked the concept but it doesn't read as well as it should.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I did read somewhere there will be a sequel to Odd and the Frost Giants, which was produced for World Book Day in 2008 it was a fun to read little book, I also have The Graveyard Book, American Gods, Stardust, Anansi Boys, Fragile Things and the collection Sandman: the Book of Dreams.

I do have a signed slipcased edition of his upcoming book preordered so it better be bloody good.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

All remarks to Neil G. on Twitter have been very positive.

 

[pip]

Never trust feedback like that as its only fans fawning and the likes.

I read @neilhimself The Ocean At The End Of The Lane last week. It's bloody wonderful, a great story of childhood & memory.

Turns out she's a journo and got a preview copy.
