I salute Rajaniemi for writing this series. Even though there are parts of the story I really don't understand (Some of the story's physics go sooo over my head), the journey with Jean de Flambeur has been truly worth of reading. Excellent scifi and intriguing tale!

Ghost Train is darker and not as much fun as the first part of the Shambling Guides, which is a bit shame. There'd be so much potential on the characters.
Phil, Zoë's boss, is not involved in the story much, that was disappointment, since I really liked this "ordinary bloke" vampire at the first part. Arthur, Zoë's (almost zombi) boyfriend, on the other hand is in it -being a total twat!

We are handed a handfull of new god's, demons and characters at New Orleans and of course Zoë's stumbling in the middle.

So maybe not us fun, but entertaining enough to wait for the 3rd part of the series.

Might be the best Sandman book I've read so far. All the tales were interesting with these historic (Ceasar, Marco Polo) religious (Even, Adam) etc. characters, their tales & secrets. But most of all I loved the tales of Orpheus, son of Morpheus.

Yay! The origin of Bianca is revealed in this part! :D

First of all I liked the documentary style the book is written. It gives a certain touch of credibility, like you were reading an actual report of the event.

Secondly; using children as the base horror, even though some might find it clishé, is creepy and that gives a nice shiver to the story. So bravo on those.

But. The end solution of the Three didn't quite satisfy me. I'm a big fan of Stephen King, so I don't mind if there are few loose ends and stuff you have to figure out you own at the end, but Lotz seems to leave quite a lot speculations for the reader to decide what actually happened. And why.

Other than that The Three is quite good & fast paced story, slightly creepy, but didn't make me leave the lights on for the night... ;)

The thing about Gaiman books imo is that you either like 'em or you don't. And I liked this one very much.
Intriguing memory lane of childhood fairytale, by the eyes of 9 year old boy/adult man.
There a reason we don't remember some things happened long time ago as good as we should...

Fairytale for adults!

Slight disappointment compared to previous D novels.
Especially Matthew & Sue wandering off all the time, when they should have stayed still... Ugh, somebody should have tied their feet, I say! (Would have saved loads of trouble, just sayin...)

Best again: The left hand <3

* "If there's one thing this world needs more of, it's thoughtful Nobles," the left hand jeered. *

Good story, but suffers from the lack of Morpheus himselfi In this one he seems more like a side character than the main one.

Best 'light' book I've read in ages, I was laughing out loud more times than I can tell.

Starting off with Pratchett-like humour as Zoe get's to know her new co-workers and their habits (after she's first fainted at her job interview when she realized her boss really is a vampire), is hilarious at least.
Added pieces of the city guide for coteries (vampires, demons, spirit etc...)between chapters are fun addition to the book.
Love the different skill & qualities different coteries have! :D

Laffety makes you laugh, then suddenly pushes your face against something gore - and then makes you laught again 'till the end.

Definitely will read the next Shambling Guide!
