swingbeat 28/26: Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman

This is an anthology of short stories that Neil Gaiman has written over the years. There are quite a few interesting tales here - and a couple I couldn't really read. For example, I hate hate hate poems, and he has a few poems.

His writing is good as usual, and he is creative in the mythologies and settings that his stories take place in. Not as good as George R. R. Martin, but still good.

Recommended. Doesn't rock your world as much as Sandman or his other stuff, and it's not an absolute nailbiting pageturner, but it's a pretty good read if you have small bits of time laying around..
