    It's awesome! It's not my favorite Gaiman book, but like all his other works - highly enjoyable!

    American Gods and Neverwhere should be at the top of your list.
    Coraline is a quick read but equally as awesome.
    Anansi Boys and The Graveyard Book for when you've read those listed above.

    Thanks. I've actually been wanting to read Coraline since the movie is coming out soon, but I don't think I'll get a chance to before then.
    Neverwhere was actually the first Gaiman book I read. Just finished it a couple of weeks ago, and that one I did really enjoy.

    Coraline looks amazing!

    I've been wanting to read Odd and the Frost Giants by Gaiman but haven't gotten to it yet. Mark Buckingham, who draws the comic Fables, illustrates the book.
