Ploughed through my signed first edition copy of Neil Gaiman's latest novel, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, today. "They" say it's his best, HE says its his best, but it is decidedly not my favorite of his work. I didn't find myself swept away by it. Usually his books leave me feeling either like my heart has been buoyed up by a breath of life, or like my soul has been bruised by an aching sadness. This one did neither. I feel like I missed something or like a piece of the book is missing. Still a good read, though.
