Grips you quickly and keeps you along for the mysterious ride. Even though one of the major plot twists can be seen from a mile away (like, a Sixth Sense amount away) it still interests you in the psychological aspects of it all. The illustrations are stark and well suited to the subject matter, as they sit saturated and somewhat dreamlike. Makes you want to read more, watch more, which is a testament to how well it works.

This being the third medium for me to soak up this material, i have to say i wasn't overly impressed, but still lovingly enjoyed this retelling of Gaiman's book. It reminded me of the source material and regrounded it for me, even though i absolutely LOVE the film version and appreciate all the changes that were made for the movie. A decent reminder of the original material, with some good illustrations to bring the memory of both the book and the film back to life.
