^I'm with fantasyfan on loving Neil's YA work. The Graveyard Book is just so much fun and the illustrated books like Fortunately, the Milk are a lot of fun to read with my son.
I think Neil is trying a bit too hard in places to put a bit of everything in. I too loved the dream sequences and the myth and folklore in it. I can definitely see how it would be a strain for many, but overall I really enjoyed this. It's a book I would recommend to some people but not others and that's probably where this is going to stand for people: a boring mess or genius.
