I have heard so many good things about this series and I never read it so when this edition came out I gave it a shot and I wish I could say I was floored by the work and had never read anything better but it just didn't click with me and I fail to see the praise that others have given this work. I have read a few other of Gaiman's works and have found them lacking as well. I don't want to bash the author or any of his other works but he is not my cup of tea. As far as his works in comics go the only book he has worked on that I have felt compelled to reread is the DC book "Legends of the Green Flame."
