At the end of the lane is a duck pond...or is it? There is a man who used to be a boy who fought monsters....or was he? There is a family of women who are old and young but ageless and they have always been there, just been there since before time...or is there?
Gaiman, as usual, spins a tale filled with creepy, well written, adventurous, mystery all while presenting food for thought. How much can one mind hold? How much can one person do alone and how much more can a person do with the help of others? What is the value of sacrifice? Isn't it interesting that people can experience the same event together and yet tell the tale in such a way that makes you wonder if they were at the same event?
A quick read that is not truly predictable but yet feels like a place you may have been before. As I have found before with The Graveyard Book and with his writing for one of my all time favorite TC programs, Doctor Who, Gaiman proves himself a master story teller.
