Reasons for "piles of turd"?

I didn't like Gaiman's style at all.
The protagonist is a fool and you get tired of him 1/4 into the book as well as from others. There is no humour, the story and characters are flat and not interesting.
I just had to force myself through the story because:
a) so many people recommended it
b) to be qualified to judge the book
c) it was a long flight
I sort of liked Neverwhere that I read recently, but again it was just an OK book.
