Neil Gaiman.

I got to know of Neil Gaiman through Daryl. One night he passed me this book titled 'Stardust'. It's Neil Gaiman's latest novel. After i read this book i realise that it's time i should start reading books again. I stopped reading english books since i was at the age of 12 all because of the introduction of Chinese Comics books and also the change of my songs where i wipe out all my english collections and only keep the chinese ones.

Neil Gaiman is a britsh guy who is located in America now.

His famous titles are the Sandman series, Stardust, Neverwhere, American gods. He has many other famous titles to his name too.

Recently i am on the Sandman series. Many might say it's a comic book or any form of reading materials that they rate it the same type as marvel DC comics type like X-men, Spiderman, Superman. All i can say is that, Sandman is a highly acclaimed Literature Book. Many people uses it for literature purposes. Literature students always will have a book which is something like a guide to the stories they are reading. Sandman has one too. Specially meant for literature students to use.

Also if you pay attention to all his other novels, his books are all can be considered literature books because at the back few pages, he has this group discussion sections where its literature questions. In bookstores his books are placed under Literature section too but seriously i think it does not makes a difference because it's simply too nice to read already that it can be placed in anywhere in the library and the book will still GLOW by itself and attract readers to go pick it up.

Comments from others to Neil Gaiman.

"In prose that dances and dazzles, Gaiman describes the indescribables: The errie colours, ravishing scents and dangerous laughter of Faerie" -Susanna Clarke on his Stardust novel


"Gaiman is, simply put, a treasure-house of story, and we are lucky to have him" -Stephen King


"Neil Gaiman is a star. he constructs stories like some demented cook might make a wedding cake, building layer upon layer, including all kinds of sett and sour in the mix" -Clive Barker


"Delightful... Inventively horrific... [It] draws equally from George Lucas, Monty Python, Doctor who, and John Milton.... The Chemerical stuff of nightmare and daydream" -USA Today on his book Neverwhere


"Darkly whimsical.... The narrative whips along at a breakneck pace.... There are plenty of laughs as geography takes on a mythical dimension and the Underground transforms into a house of mystery and imagination. you'll never look at the tube the same way again." -Wired on his Neverwhere novel



I've read them. They are nice. He is really really amazing. Stephen King said he is a treasure house, its like David Beckham coming to tell me that my freekicks are beautiful or Eric Clapton coming up to me and praise my guitar skills (if i even have.) GO GET THEM! WHY WAIT! =D
