The Ocean at the end of the Lane - Neil Gaiman

Big fan. Try Stardust. Also The Graveyard Book. See also this thread, which i must revive forthwith as I am a bit stuck for ideas.

Thanks, I will...

I want to read this book, but have about 6 books [on Kindle] TBR so will wait a bit, it does sound like a good read, I like the unusual.

Just to let all Neil Gaiman fans know, the film of his book "Stardust" is on Film4, Saturday evening at 6.25PM. Enjoy!

oh yes, it is a good one and worth re-watching

One of my favourite films!

I've just finished reading Stardust (following JessM's recommendation). It was lovely! I didn't know it had been made into a film when I started reading but the story was familiar although I knew I hadn't read it before so seeing Stardust on the TV listings was a lightbulb moment! Now I'm off to look for the next Gaiman book to read...

I love Neil Gaiman, so does OH, so thanks.

Didn't he also write Neverwhen? This was made into a tv series which my teenagers liked [ages ago.] Seem to remember it's set in the old tube stations under London, but not our own London.Does he write all his books for Y/A ? or is some of it for adults?

He did - I'm waiting for it to come back to the library and looking forward to reading it. I hadn't known it had been made for TV, I wonder if I saw it? I'm not sure which books are YA or for adults but I don't think it matters because they are enjoyable stories. He's written(?) lots of graphic books too - a very talented man!
