Some of these stories were genuinely riveting. Others I got bored with. But, all of them were refreshingly original and creative. I really enjoyed this compilation but it didn’t leave me thinking I should go find more Gaiman books.

Some great, some “meh”

A legendary author in his own rite. The Neil Gaiman Reader was satisfying from start to finish. Whether you've read(or listened) to any number of the passages here before it'll be an adventure you won't regret. Hearing the stories told in the manner they're meant to be expressed is a joy in and of itself. I will suggest this to anyone who will listen.

Outstanding collection

I’ll admit I love Neil Gaiman - so witty, so imaginative, such a fine writer. It turns out he narrates beautifully as well. These stories are glorious what if’s. What if the old gods still lived but struggled with mundane things? What if your invented girlfriend existed?

My favorite author done well!

I've seen some of the movies and shows based on Gaiman's written work so this reader sounded perfect for getting introduced to it, and it was!!
I listened from the intro straight through to the end every chance I could get and loved it all.
I downloaded one of his novels already and I am definitely getting another in print.
Gaiman's performance was awesome, though I giggled a couple times at his American accent, but it's not bad. 5++ stars!

Super enjoyable

If you have never listened to anything written by Neil Gaiman, this is a great place to start. If you are familiar with his work, you will meet some old friends here and, perhaps, make a few new ones. I cannot imagine a better narrator than Mr. Gaiman himself.

Outstanding intro to Neil Gaiman

Some of the short stories I knew and loved them. Some were new and I was thrilled. If you’re a NG fan this is a must in your collection.

Lovely
