Neil Gaiman is amazing, so clever and innovative. This one shares some characters with his last, American Gods, but stands completely alone. Any readers of his Sandman graphic novels will know that Neil can take mythology and turn it on its head with wit and charm. The style is light and comical, harking back to Good Omens which he co-wrote with Terry Pratchett. New readers have a treat in store. Altogether a marvellous book written by a marvellous author. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
