The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains

I picked this book up on a whim. I wanted something short to read.

The story itself is interesting. When I added this to my “currently reading” shelf, I scanned the reviews on what to expect. Most reviews said that this book needs to be read multiple times. Once was enough for me. I figured out the ending at the start of the book. At times the characters seemed to blur together. The book left me with more questions than when I started. All this time the reader is drawn into the story of the cave. Why couldn't we stay there? What about the main characters parents? A few extra lines would have been nice.

In conclusion, it was a decent read for an afternoon, but I prefer Gaiman's other books more.
