He's my favourite author for sure. Loved Neverwhere, Stardust, Coraline and The Graveyard Book in particular, but everything he does is good. I have read a couple of those to my kids as before bed reading, taking a few weeks to get through a story.

She seems interesting. She was on radio here the other day and just knocked out a song on ukulele and it was wonderful. She then did an impromptu gig on the street here the next day. Interesting character.
Stip, read Neverwhere. It's excellent. As is Ocean at the end of the lane, and Stardust.

I got to sit in on his Sunday panel at comic con. He is writing a Shadow short story that will appear in a compilation book next year put together by GRRM. He said he has another short story about Shadow that will lead into American Gods 2 eventually.
He also mentioned he is writing a neverwhere short story and of course lots of talk about the 6 issue Sandman run starting Oct 30th.
Sadly he did not haev much to say about American Gods on HBO. Came across as a very cool guy during the interview.
All of his talk about how he wrote his latest novel with his wife in mind makes me want to read it. It is on my agenda now for sure.

American Gods definitely seems to be a book that splits opinion. I loved it but plenty of people seem to really not like it.

does American Gods gets better in the second half?
Yes but probably only if you liked the first half. If you didn't there is a good chance that you will think that the second half gets worse.
I didn't make it through the first time I read it. Liked it the second time. Loved it the third. Not sure if my tastes changed over the years, sometimes I feel Neil's voice is something you need to be in the mood for.
Neverwhere was my favorite until Ocean. I love his kids books too, and am still waiting impatiently for The Graveyard Book to be made into a movie!
