Reader Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 stars)
I read this book when I was a kid and loved it, but it hit differently reading it as an adult. Gaiman’s incredible mastery over the English language is inspiring, and this sweet story about a seemingly inconsequential “nobody” and his gathering of family never fails to touch my heart. I recommend it wholeheartedly!
Language: 9/10 (Mild/rare swearing).
Sex: 10/10 (No sexual content).
Violence and gore: 9.5/10 (Minimal violence/gore).
