Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman
May. 5th, 2007 12:00 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Let me tell you a story.
No, wait, one's not enough.
I'll begin again ...
Let me tell you stories of the months of the year, of ghosts and heartbreak, of dread and desire. Of after-hours drinking and unanswered phones, of good deeds and bad days, of trusting wolves and how to talk to girls.
There are stories within stories, whispered in the quiet of the night, shouted above the roar of the day, and played out between lovers and enemies, strangers and friends. But all are fragile things made of just 26 letters arranged and rearranged to form tales and imaginings which will dazzle your senses, haunt your imagination and move you to the very depths of your soul.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
An interesting mix that easy to read, makes you think and entertains. A collection like this makes you see why Neil Gaiman is one of the most respected writers in the fantasy field and if you haven't read his work, this is a good place to start.
