This book is pure magic. I was immediately sucked in by Neil Gaiman's storytelling and the wonder of the tale. I can't stop reading!

Your teaser:
"I'm going to tell you something important. Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. The truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world." (page 112)

I thought I read this book before, but I was wrong. I found a hardback copy for a buck and I had to pick it up. I read a few pages and didn't remember the story at all. I'm so happy I found it. It's an awesome story. But then again, I don't expect anything less from Neil Gaiman.

Here's your teaser:
"You know, I heard rumors, while I was away," said Silas, "that some weeks ago that you both went somewhat further afield than I would have been able to follow. Normally, I would advice caution, but, unlike some, the ghoul-folk have short memories." (page 98)
