The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil GaimanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Hooter: A scary philosophical humorous drama that shows childhood innocence in hindsight
A mix of drama, a pinch of horror, few drops of mythology all of it in a flashback as a man attends a funeral in his childhood hometown and reminisces his childhood and the madness around it. A mix of dark and light only Gaiman could do.
A novella at best , this makes for a breezy read that captures a lot of emotions and feelings. Ursula and the hunger birds add to the ickiness along with the supernatural elements mashed up with realities for children that adults have forgotten. This is a young adult fiction aimed at adults probably but probably would have enjoyed it more when I was devouring R L Stine and the types.
