i read The Ocean at the End of The Lane a few months ago. At that time it was the only Gaiman I had read and and I loved it. It was concise, beautiful and thoughtful.
I was really looking forward to American Gods, but I was really disappointed. I found it inflated and sometimes just plain boring. The writing reminded me a little of the Gunslinger series, which I gave up on after about 4 books for the same reason. I had a hard time finishing the last third - I just didn't care much what happened.
