It's marvellous, loved it.

Much better than his Roman stuff where he rewrote History way too much

I just finished up Snuff, so now I'm waiting for my copy of Unseen Academicals to arrive. I ordered Neil Gaiman's American Gods today; that won't be here for a while.
I loved American Gods! :laugh: I must get around to rereading it soon.

Sequel novel should be good. Seemingly Neil Gaiman is working on it at the moment :laugh:

And before people correct me Anansi Boys is a Spinoff not a Sequel and Monarch of the Glen is a Novella not a novel :laugh:

Will you post a review when you have read it, Apocalypse Cow is really good so far, laugh out loud moments. :mrgreen:

Edited to add: I went into Waterstones in Stirling because the local one here did not have a copy of Half sick of Shadows, I read a chapter and flipped through a few other pages and have come to the conclusion I won't be buying a copy anytime soon, unless it comes down to a couple of pounds for a Kindle. :|

Cool! Didn't know he was working on a sequel. :laugh: Haven't heard of Monarch of the Glen. Is it a short story or graphic novel?

Monarch of the Glens is about forty to fifty pages long and is set in Scotland with Shadow. It was published in Neils short story book Fragile Things. If you can get a cheap copy well worth it for this alone. :laugh:

I will . Finishing Philip K Dick The Penultimate Truth and then will read Apocalypse Cow. Flicked Through Half Sick and not too drawn in to be honest .

Ah! Thanks. :laugh: I'm pretty sure I read Fragile Things, but my memory is terrible. I'll have to get it from the library and read it again.
