The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil GaimanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
“‘Oh, monsters are scared,’ said Lettie. ‘That's why they're monsters.’”
“Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. Truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world.”
Don’t underestimate Neil Gaiman. He’s been writing and thinking about writing a long time now and it’s showing. This reads like a children’s book or a young adult novel but if you’re paying attention it’s unmistakably written by a weaver of both literature and fantasy.
