The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a magnificently poignant book that once again show's Neil Gaiman's brilliance at not merely putting words onto paper but rather using them to paint wonderful colorful and evocative words of art in our imaginations.

The mark of a good book for me has always been in its ability to capture your heart and imagination and draw you deep into its world so that you lose all track of your surroundings and the passing of time. The Ocean at the End of the Lane is just such a book and from beginning to end you'll find yourself laughing, crying and just enjoying every word and sentence and paragraph before coming to the end and wishing for more.
