Review: The Ocean at the End of the Lane

The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 out of 5 stars - If you ask me, I'll tell you to read it

The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a grown up fairy tale of the dark variety. I really enjoyed listening to Neil Gaiman narrating his story.

A man returns to his hometown for a funeral and is lured to his old, childhood stomping grounds. He goes to the end of the lane he grew up on and has memories he can't quite understand or fully form.

Forty years earlier, it all started with a lack of money and the suicide of a boarder from their home. The boy is thrown into a crazy world of witches, fantasy, and monsters. He has some crazy experiences that are only memories in the moment. He doesn't remember them as he grows up.

I enjoyed seeing where the twists and turns of where the story would go next.
