  • I get where you’re coming from, but I don’t think that’s it. The entire book was kinda milquetoast, which wasn’t a deal breaker. It was just underwhelming no matter was going on. I found myself interested in continuing the story, but I just didn’t really care about any of the characters by the end.

    Contrast that with something like East of Eden or Crime and Punishment, which are favorites of mine. I’m about a third of the way through blood meridian, which is fantastic so far. I’m actually a huge fan of Vonnegut fwiw.

    Good analysis on your part, but Gaiman just falls flat for me.
