### ★★★★★ Love him or hate him, the man can write a good book — r-s-curtis
Gaiman may be a horrible human being but, damn can he spin a good yarn and do so with beautiful prose.  I was entranced by Spider and his journey for the entire read and could not put this book down.  This book will make you appreciate mythology on a whole new level.
