Fragile Things, by Neil Gaiman

Date of Review:  Jan 7, 2007
The Bottom Line: Recommended only on the strength of the STORIES. The WONDERS, on the other hand . . .
Review: There are writers who are able to, with a few simple words of description, make us check all the doors and windows and look under the bed before turning out the light. There are writers who can make us laugh so loud the people around us ask what we...

Neil Gaiman let me down with Fragile Things

Professional Reviews
  Kirkus Reviews: "Gaiman again proves himself a perverse romantic, heir not only to Poe and Baudelaire but to the breathless Pre-Raphaelites....He wears his pop cred in boldface, and street-smart hipness saturates these eerie epiphanies.
