'The Ocean at the End of the Lane' is fun to read, filled with his trademarked blend of sinister whimsy. Gaiman's writing is like dangerous candy - you're certain there's ground glass somewhere, but it just tastes so good!, Ocean has that nearly invisible prose that keeps the focus firmly on the storytelling, and not on the writing. . . .

(Booklist (starred review) on OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE), His prose is simple but poetic, his world strange but utterly believable - if he was South American we would call this magic realism rather than fantasy., Gaiman has crafted an achingly beautiful memoir of an imagination and a spellbinding story that sets three women at the center of everything. . . .[I]t's a meditation on memory and mortality, a creative reflection on how the defining moments of childhood can inhabit the worlds we imagine., 'Remarkable . . . wrenchingly, gorgeously elegiac. . . .

(Star Tribune (Minneapolis) on THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE), The impotence of childhood is often the first thing sentimental adults forget about it; Gaiman is able to resurrect, with brutal immediacy, the abject misery of being unable to control one's own life., Remarkable . . . wrenchingly, gorgeously elegiac. . . .

Gaiman is a master of creating worlds just a step to the left of our own., Poignant and heartbreaking, eloquent and frightening, impeccably rendered, it's a fable that reminds us how our lives are shaped by childhood experiences, what we gain from them and the price we pay., 'The Ocean at the End of the Lane' is fun to read, filled with his trademarked blend of sinister whimsy.
