Mostly I loved it

Listening to Neil Gamin read a story is a delightfully intimate experience. There is just something about his style that makes me lean in and drink up every word. Most of the stories in the Reader were really good. There was an occasional clunker that I would end up skipping and I wondered who would ever have voted that story into the book, but for the most part I enjoyed this big long book all the way through.

This is craft of the highest sort

I laughed out loud several times before I was 10 minutes in.
Spellbinding
Thought provoking
Masterful
Funny
Genius

excellent stories

Great variety. I love that Neil Gaiman reads his own stories. some were totally new and some built on previous stories.

Neil is a gift, a thoughtful collection

This is a wonderful selection of stories, and he fantastic reading as always with Neil

Superb Collection of Gaiman Stories

Had a blast listening to this creative collection. Gaiman never bores me. Thanks. 15 words.

A good introduction to Gaiman's works.

Most stories read by the author -- both Neil the author, and Neil the reader kept me turning pages, or, actually - listening far beyond the nightly walking of the dog.

Go to Listen.

This book is my go to listen. Varied and entertaining with a great narrator. Fantastic

Some great, some “meh”

Some of these stories were genuinely riveting. Others I got bored with. But, all of them were refreshingly original and creative. I really enjoyed this compilation but it didn’t leave me thinking I should go find more Gaiman books.
