Serendippily May 2020 1:48pm, 25 May 2020 17,820 posts	0 Serendippily It reminded me most of Diana Wynne Jones and I love her so that’s a compliment - eight days of Luke did something clever with Greek gods. And Carabonel who was a great fictional character. I particularly liked the relationship with the witch girl. We taught all our babies to go downstairs backwards and uphill into a graveyard would be a long toddle but I wasn’t really going to get picky that a child’s fantasy take wasn’t very realistic

westmoors May 2020 6:13pm, 25 May 2020 4,030 posts	0 westmoors This was my first foray with Gaiman, which is strange as I'm a huge Pratchett fan. Really enjoyed this and found it very easy to read. Loved the different language styles of the dead according to when they had lived. Quite a few LOL moments too!
westmoors May 2020 6:21pm, 25 May 2020 4,031 posts	0 westmoors Just read back. Having not read or seen any HP I can't comment on the similarities or not! I also liked the witch girl, and her 'not talking' to Bod! Mrs Shanksi, I'm also rubbish at reviewing books. I either like or dislike them, but very rarely can put my finger on the reasons!
