Product ReviewsThe Ocean at the End of the Lane : A Novel by Neil Gaiman (2013, Hardcover)

The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman (2013, Hardcover)

It was a surprise when I first saw the book, not because of its appealing tittle but because of it's length. I had come into the book expecting a long novel, what with such an intriguing tittle and all. Now that I finished The Ocean at the End of the Lane I am even more surprised that I could find so much in such few pages. I often found myself at mid-sentence, lost in my own thoughts and an endless stream of ideas an reflections that spurred from something I had read in the book that caught my mind. Never in the countless books I have read have I come across the feeling I got with this book. The pages contain a feel of wisdom about our existence that catch you unprepared yet leave you no choice but to follow stop and reflect even at the most trivial things.
It was a beautiful experience that I highly recommend.Read full review...

Brings you to another world

I wasn’t sure what to expect and before I knew it I couldn’t put the book down. Read the book within a normal work day, magical adventure. Pre Harry Potter times. Great beach or travel read

Poignant and evocative; difficult to ignore or forget/ "Haunting"

Fantastic story, well written, + it'll stay in your mind for a long time after.
As novels go, it's very short, but it's just the right length for what the story is.

nice read
