This was a nice adventure story. It's fairly creative and different. It's a bit cheesy at times but it's a nice relaxing read. Gaiman does an excellent job of combining humor and horror(ish) (may be better to say "dark content"). Also the Marquis de Carabas is my absolute favorite character he's created, I love a dandy. I would have complained he needed to be featured more but this edition came with a short story on the Marquis
