A very fine and imaginative writer
'Gaiman has a rich imagination...and an ability to tackle large themes'
It's virtually impossible to read more than ten words by Neil Gaiman and not wish he would tell you the rest of the story
To give him his full title: Neil Gaiman, Architect of Worlds, Svengali of Plot, Shaman of Character, Exploder of Cliche, Master Craftsman of Style, Dreamer, Laureate of the Republic of Letters
Gaiman is, simply put, a treasure-house of story
While we might come to his writing for gods and monsters, actually all human life
A god in the universe of story
Much too clever to be caught in the net of a single interpretation
Intimate, erudite and illuminating
