A story like a symphony

I am die hard fantasy reader for many years and have learned that you absolutely can not always rely on the authors in terms of the quality and beauty of their stories. Even with Gaiman there are books that I have read for a time my library around the corner donated. This book, however, I will definitely keep.

I would like to not reveal so much about the content of the book. I find it's more about that Gaiman has managed to tell a sometimes quiet, sometimes sad, several chapters even disturbing and then again positive and beautiful plot with wonderful words.

Here like a symphony of the interaction of several instruments is given, find the story combined with the narrative style Gaiman's a masterpiece together, but without ever being verkünstelt or pretentious. It was just a pleasure to absorb this liquid-flowing words and sentences. I read the book in the train on the way to and from work and am unfortunately, gone too far, fortunately on the way home, a station, even though I had to stand, so I lost myself in the book.

Although I have not read the German version, I would put all my heart to read the original, the translator is of no matter how good, something is always lost.
