Book Review: The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Perhaps by now, you have already concluded that I’m a big fan of Neil Gaiman. Well, I have become a fan since reading Stardust and watching the Stardust movie and the Sandman TV show. Can Neil Gaiman do anything wrong? Because like his other books that I have read previously, I loved this book despite the initial weirdness that I felt about it.

Book Review: Nightstrider

Why is the author making us wait this long for the 2nd book to come out? I want to jump right into it after finishing Nightstrider because I don’t want to break that feeling about being so hyped up about our beloved characters finally smoking the peace pipe (albeit temporarily) and uniting to bring down the accursed conqueror of both the Wake and the Reverie. While it’s not the best among the epic fantasies that littered the genre today, Nighstrider brought a lot of yummy goodness to the table. As one of our characters always say, this book is real…
