Elis's Most Popular Reviews

I found the beginning chapters very insightful and impactful but not so much the later ones. Still one that I will definitely read again.

Wonderful and at times truly creepy. I love Gaiman's writing style and hearing it read in his own voice. I especially love how he voices the rats!

This would be an interesting literary read. I find I have lots of questions about world events or prevalent ideas that inspired the author.
For the story itself, it's clear there are lots of ideas being presented, but it all feels more tell than show.

Probably not a good sign that Miss Bates' ramblings were among the more enjoyable parts for me
