Story5 out of 5 stars 37
Omar Zagouri should have known that the hunt for an ordinary art thief in London would end up being far from ordinary. Abducted and carted across several countries until he’s locked up in the middle of Jordan’s desert, Omar becomes the target of an underground crime organization that dates back to the Crusaders era. As Omar works to uncover the deadly secrets that connect centuries of deceit, he finds himself trying to prevent an honor killing from turning into another tragedy, while exposing the ancient crime organization for generations of lethal corruption.

I loved the writing, the flow, the characters and the look at history and mercy killings I didn't know anything about.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 22,557
A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. He is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock. Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie - magical, comforting, wise beyond her years - promised to protect him, no matter what.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
I love how Mr. Gaiman writes but I don't always like the story. I don't relate to the characters but I like to read about them.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I was glad to be done with the book.
Which character – as performed by Neil Gaiman – was your favorite?
I enjoyed listening to him read his book. I think it's awesome he is the reader.
Could you see The Ocean at the End of the Lane being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
It would be an interesting teen movie.
Any additional comments?
I really do love how Mr. Gaiman writes. It's unique and draws the reader right in. And he's a great storyteller. The stories just aren't for me.
