Re:Books not where he really shines (Score 1)

I have to agree with this. Although I've found Gaiman's graphic novels and shorter works truly captivating, his novels have always left me at a bit of a loss. He is an undeniably gifted storyteller, and, perhaps unlike many of his peers, I think his real strength does not lie in his longer works.

Reading amazon.co.uk's synopsis, I have to admit that I'm less than intrigued. Perhaps it's a bad synopsis but it looks like he followed all sorts of random directions just for the sake of following them. Strangeness for the sake of strangeness. How stale.
