This book is so valuable. I wish all couples would read it. Esther Perel is one of the most important thinkers in my life.

Everything Neil Gaiman writes is so beautiful. This book is a gem. And he is one of the best narrators I have ever heard.

I never got to these as a young reader; just reading them now, I'm blown away. The writing is mature and adult, unlike many in the genre, and the narration is absolutely perfect. (Nearly; I kind of wish that all books had a separate narrator for the women. But he does reasonably well with them.)

A staggeringly beautiful book. It is complex, and an ability to accept a blurred understanding of the storyline is an asset.

Crowley's narration feels rushed at first, but give it an hour or two; it ended up feeling perfect to me, and now I doubt if I another could have read it.

I read these books as kids, but they're a bit hard to reread - the way the writer handles the children is just over the top fawning sometimes. And the intro is pretty offensive in the way it slams poor and rural people as so much dumber and less cultured than the vaunted children and their PhD parents. It's kind of a paean to the virtues of the intellectual classes.

You couldn't ask for a better performance of this story. All the voice acting is incredible, the sound effects are artfully done, and the story holds up to the test of time.

This series manages to be both engaging for an adult, yet light and fun; it is a rare gem. The second book in the series improves on the first. Ben becomes more relatable, and the story moves along even better. The only weaknesses, for me, remain that sometimes you wish Ben would pick up on things a bit quicker; and the narrator's voice for Willow is overly feminine.

Such an absorbing story, and Neil Gaiman is a perfect narrator. An excellent introduction to his work.
