So this Monday we are doing a review of Ocean At The End Of The Lane by Neil Gaiman. I read this book over the course of several week in a book club I run, and found it to be a page turner. Tonight we are finishing up the book in our book club meeting, so I figured what better time to review it here than now.
Neil Gaiman does a great job at keeping the pace moving at a steady pace. You never feel like the pace is too fast or too slow. He keeps your attentions rapt in the book turning pages, wondering what will happen next. You can hear the narrator's voice in your head as you are reading as well as hearing all the characters voices in your head when they speak.
You can see every bit of the setting vividly as it is described. You can even get a vivid picture of how the characters look as they are described because of how well detail is used in this novel. For a small book it speaks volumes. With twists and turns in every chapter. You never know what you are going to see next, so always expect the unexpected.
When you finish this book it will have you thinking a lot. Not going to say why because that would ruin the adventure of it all. And trust me it is definitely an adventure worth going on. This is truly a wonderful read for all ages. I give it five stars. *Tips hat and walks out the door going in search of something to drink.*
