For some reason I couldn't get through the book.

But I'm super excited for the TV series.

Maybe I'll give the book another go before this thing airs.

he had another book made into a tv show... neverwhere? maybe?

they did a good job with it (low production value excepted) - the idea of American Gods on HBO seems promising.

dct, why didn't you like this book? not your style of writing?

I guess. I'm not entirely sure.

Usually I love that kind of genre. But none of the characters grabbed me and the story didn't feel like it was moving. I stopped after about 250 pages.

I'd like to give it another go. I'm a firm believer in the idea that the book has to find you. I kinda forced that one, I think. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood.

The only other book of his that I've finished is Coraline. Which I really loved.

I stopped half way through Neverwhere because I just got too busy. And that was back before I loved reading.

How would you rank Mr. Gaiman's books that you've read?
