I wasn't overly impressed with it origianlly only really enjoying the first and final few tales in the collection (I loved the version of Snow White). I remember really enjoying the introduction though and why each story was written.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-82688230269510405872008-02-24T18:38:00.000-06:002008-02-24T18:38:00.000-06:00So far, I only read Coraline, Neverwhere and a few...So far, I only read <I>Coraline</I>, <I>Neverwhere</I> and a few picture books for young children and I enjoyed reading them all!

Instead of the usual, this is what we've been doing this year, a messed up story about St. Nick. Everyone will know I'm crazy!<BR/><BR/>eva-Chivalry was such a cute story. I loved it! <BR/><BR/>stephanie-I have to read that collection too, because I'm curious to learn more about Shadow. He was a real interesting character!<BR/><BR/>nymeth-sounds like you are a big fan of gaiman too! His writing does keep you engaged.<BR/><BR/>alice-I'm trying to do interlibrary loan to get that book because my library doesn't have it. We'll see if I have any luck!<BR/><BR/>andi-well this collection has enough variety where I'm sure you'll find something you like! I haven't read Neverwhere, but I'm sure I've got it on my list somewhere.Kim Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024112944002002232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-57404500767027554222008-02-23T20:08:00.000-06:002008-02-23T20:08:00.000-06:00Great review.

I've read American Gods and Sandman: Dream Hunters and liked them but wasn't blown away. On the other hand, I looooved Coraline. I have Neverwhere and Smoke & Mirrors left on my stacks to read soon.Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-85392821153617257652008-02-23T18:55:00.000-06:002008-02-23T18:55:00.000-06:00It's easy to understand how you can easily develop...It's easy to understand how you can easily develop a crush on him...

I loved this book, but I have that crush on Gaiman too!! Not that I disagree, but I really loved Fragile Things. Maybe because I read it first, but I could almost say I liked it better than Smoke and Mirrors. (But most Gaiman fans disagree with me!) There was a great story at the end that had Shadow from American Gods as the main Character. <BR/><BR/>I think my favorites of this book were Snow Glass Apples, We can Get them for you Wholesale, and the wolf stories.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055676171075203563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-11641129139811397742008-02-22T07:21:00.000-06:002008-02-22T07:21:00.000-06:00I second Chris-I like this one much more than Frag...I second Chris-I like this one much more than Fragile Things. My three favourite stories were "Chivalry," "Snow, Glass, and Apples," and "A Murder Mystery." I get goosebumps just thinking about them.<BR/><BR/>And your Neil Gaiman crush allows you entrance into our exclusive little blogosphere club....j/k...but whenever you write about Gaiman, it's pretty much guaranteed that Chris, Nymeth and I are going to pop up our heads!!Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703372903532502944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-32790036969168961382008-02-22T00:25:00.000-06:002008-02-22T00:25:00.000-06:00This is definitely my favorite of his two short st...This is definitely my favorite of his two short story collections and I LOVE Snow Glass Apples. I really liked The Goldfish Pond too even though it didn't have much of a point. I loved nearly every story in this collection. His writing just fascinates me. And your right about his introduction...I enjoyed that just as much as his stories! Oh! And you can buy Nicholas Was Christmas cards :)chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-83437726269619671872008-02-21T22:05:00.000-06:002008-02-21T22:05:00.000-06:00Glad you enjoyed this book, Kim!
