Absolutely loved it. Very epic with a lot of depth to it. Its the first Neil Gaiman book I've read and I count this book as a modern classic. Also as someone who enjoys reading about mythology it was a great hodgepodge of characters. Of [b:The Histories|1362|The Histories|Herodotus|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1350412370s/1362.jpg|488198] references were awesome because by pure coincidence I happened to be working on that book at the same time. I'll have to get the hardcover version as a more permanent member for my home library.
