Ratings and reviews

THIS IS A HATE of the SAMPLE NOT THE BOOK which I am Sure is Good being Gaiman's. Just let us have a real sample, cause it gave me nothing!!!! You Guys should really work on your sample sections on all of Gaimans books. Ive read his books for years and I love them. That being said, your basically leaving us with no sample at all on almost everyone of these I looked at. I like the writer enough that I might still buy the book, but for people that do not know the author better your basically leaving it a blind choice. Please Look at and try to fix this, It would definitely make the choice an easier one if not,, it will make it less of a choice and more of dumb luck. 3 stars is not for the book, which being Gaiman's work is probably outstanding, but rather for the sample which is non existant. it literally does not exist. let me see 3 pages and I would be satisfied. I just want to see it, or someone talking about the book, or a satisfied customer giving a synopsis. Anything other than nothing!!!

I've read the paperback before and reading the digital is still as captivating. Some stories are repeated in other short story collections of his though.

A collection of short stories by one of my all-time favorite author Neil Gaiman. A fun read especially if you on a bus or train going somewhere on a gloomy day.
