I enjoyed the stories as Neil said himself the best thing about short stories is if you don't like one you can skip to one you like! Many of these were published in other collections, so I was slightly disappointed that I've read most of them; however it was well worth the read and perfect to read out loud as a family activity.

I just couldn't finish reading it. I prefer Neil Gaiman's novels more than his short stories.

    I'm not as fond of Gaiman's short stories as I am of his novels and his graphic novels. This book was ok - I give it a "3" of 5. Lot of repeats of the same stories published in "Fragile Things."
