I enjoyed the book. It meandered a bit but given that most of the story took place on the road, it fit well. There were many colourful and unique characters and the reader was left to interpret them by their actions rather than their thoughts. The plot had many jogs, turns, and spins and Gaiman's storytelling was very compelling. I found myself trying to anticipate where the story was going. I was sometimes satisfied by my correct guesses and sometimes by the unanticipated direction the story took. I enjoyed feeling sympathetic towards flawed characters made more interesting by their bizarre circumstances. Recommended for those who like magic realism, mythology, semiotics, and the dark and strange.
