I finally finished this short story collection! When I started it back in 2015, the short story "Orange" had me putting the book down and never going back to it.

3 years later, I tried again (starting from the beginning and skipping "Orange" when I got to it), and I'm so freaking glad I was able to complete it. Most of these stories are fantastic, and I can see why Neil Gaiman has been labeled as a master short story teller. He can weave such wonderful stories in so few pages, it's genuinely incredible.

I don't think I can pick a favorite, because I loved so many, but I do have a least favorite, and it's the reason I had to drop this by a star.

I mean, I DNF'd this book for three years because of it.

Another wonderful collection of short stories out of Neil Gaiman's feather - especially exciting are the new stories about Shadow from American Gods, Doctor Who (alas, my least favorite Doctor, but still) and even Sherlock Holmes. But I don't want to indicate that those are the only good stories. Some of the original ones are also quite mind-boggling/charming/wonderful/fantastic. Just what you'd expect from Neil Gaiman.

However, ironically my attention span doesn't agree with short stories so much. Some of the stories just didn't catch my attention, so I ended up just skipping ahead to the next story. I much prefer Neil Gaiman's full-length novels, and I hope there are many to come in the future.
