I agree with your assessment completely.

Sherry, I put your edit into the original comment. Neil Gaiman writes mostly horror, and really graphic horror. This one has a small child witnessing adults acting in a way the child doesn’t understand, and worse, a violent scene between a parent and child. It’s not just you–Neil Gaiman’s work _is_ disturbing.

Lark, it’s good but not world changing. But, it’s super short and a fast read, and entertaining. This is a B book, for me.

I can’t decide whether I want to read this book, or not. Everyone is reviewing it lately, but I’m still torn. There’s so many really good books out there to read…does this one measure up? I’m still undecided.

I’m finding Neil Gaiman disturbing right now for personal reasons, so I may take a raincheck on this one. Thanks for the review.

Hmmm…I wouldn’t have thought to connect the Barnes book to this one. I can see what you’re saying, but the supernatural undertone changes it for me.
