Journal Entry 4 by rooshill from Foresthill, California USA on Tuesday, February 26, 2008

Got it last night and started reading already. I was suffering through a rather dry book and this was a great excuse to ditch it ;)
I've never read anything by Neil Gaiman, but I can tell already that I like his writing style - and the story line is not at all what I expected, in a good way. 

Journal Entry 5 by rooshill from Foresthill, California USA on Sunday, March 02, 2008

I will certainly be looking for more books by Neil Gaiman. I've got an injury making it hard to type, so you don't get to hear me run on with a review. It was fun, fast-paced, intriguing.
In the mail tomorrow to efs300 

Journal Entry 6 by efs300 from Bedford, New Hampshire USA on Saturday, March 15, 2008

American Gods arrived today. I am in the middle of another (rather long) bookring book right now. So it may be a few weeks till I can get to it. I have read Stardust and Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman and have enjoyed both of them so I look forward to reading this book. 

Journal Entry 7 by efs300 from Bedford, New Hampshire USA on Thursday, May 08, 2008

Finished this book a couple of days ago. A very unique and interesting read. Put it in the mail to sistert yesterday. Thanks to OCcinderella for setting up this bookring. 

Journal Entry 8 by sistert from Catonsville, Maryland USA on Thursday, May 15, 2008

Arrived today. One book ahead of it (in progress) but I am very curious about this one so I don't think I'll be too long before getting to it. 

Journal Entry 9 by teggers from Menai Bridge, Wales United Kingdom on Monday, August 04, 2008

Just arrived in the mail. Recieving anything at summer camp is always a joy even if it is something you are expecting. I have another book to finish before I start this one but I have a rather large amount of spare time.

Sent to babyimran. I'm very sorry for the delay, life generally in the form of university has been making it impossible to think about or do anything else.

Journal Entry 13 by bekoh from Fern Bay, New South Wales Australia on Monday, March 02, 2009

I loved this book! Thankyou Coraline5 for sending it out as a bookring.

This was my first Neil Gaiman book, I'll definitely be chasing up his other work to read. Will post the book off as soon as I get an address.

It took a while but I finally tracked down the next available person in the bookring. Posted to Finland today. 

Journal Entry 15 by ritao from Helsinki, Uusimaa Finland on Wednesday, April 01, 2009

The book arrived last week, and I've already started reading it; just forgot to report it. :)

This is my first Neil Gaiman novel, so I don't really know what to expect. The theme seems interesting, though. 

Journal Entry 16 by ritao from Helsinki, Uusimaa Finland on Thursday, June 04, 2009

Sorry that I've been such a slow reader! Unfortunately the end of term has been quite hectic, so the moments that I had time to read this book were few and far between.

I could definitely read some more Gaiman after this one... I liked the way he mixes mythology with popular culture, and really enjoyed all the references to world myths. And, by the way, one kid who had disappeared from the town had a Finnish name (Lemmi Hautala). It's always fun to find something related to Finland in foreign books. :D

Will contact the next reader right now, and send the book forward ASAP.

It's here, thank you!!

 

Journal Entry 18 by kiyoitsukikage from Brixton, Greater London United Kingdom on Saturday, October 03, 2009

eragon369, annadvarna, Wichtelkoenigin and Dreamer-kitty all asked to be skipped.
No reply from house-elf after two PMs.

Sorry for taking so long with the book. It was a difficult read, though quite enjoyable. 

Journal Entry 19 by Aramena from Moore, Oklahoma USA on Tuesday, December 29, 2009

Arrived today! I have another ring ahead of it but it's a smaller book that should go by quickly, so should be able to start this by next week. 

Journal Entry 20 by Aramena from Moore, Oklahoma USA on Monday, February 22, 2010

This book has been traveling quite awhile and I realize that I have held onto it much longer than I should have. I enjoyed it, yet at times I seemed to slog through it. I loved the ending. But I'm not sure if I care about reading any further books from Gaiman. I guess the writing just didn't quite capture me.

Anyway, I PMd JenKazoo at the beginning of the month and have not heard back from her. I'll PM her again today. 

Journal Entry 21 by Aramena from Moore, Oklahoma USA on Saturday, March 06, 2010

Received a PM from JenKazoo today asking to be skipped - she's about to have a baby and her life is a little hectic right now! So I've PMd the next person on the list.

Journal Entry 23 by sejent from Louisville, Kentucky USA on Monday, March 15, 2010

Received just a few days ago. I will get to this soon, as soon as I finish my current book (which is turning out to be a fairly quick read). I'm looking forward to it. 

Journal Entry 24 by sejent at Louisville, Kentucky USA on Wednesday, May 26, 2010

I am sending this on to the next person; I just could not get interested. Maybe I will try another time.

aaahchuu asked to be skipped, so I am sending to GABAGirl in IN. 

Journal Entry 25 by AnonymousFinder at Indianapolis, Indiana USA on Saturday, June 12, 2010

Received this week! 

Journal Entry 26 by GABAGirl at Indianapolis, Indiana USA on Saturday, July 03, 2010

Not my first Neil Gaiman novel...and I enjoyed this one as well. I was a rough first few chapters, though, until I figured out what was going on.

Will send out as soon as I have an address for the next person in line.
Thanks so much for making this a book ring! 

Journal Entry 27 by mysticalzoe at Gardiner, Maine USA on Monday, July 19, 2010

Received today in the mail, been looking forward to this book!!!

7-20-10~Wanted to say that I started this book yesterday and I am already on page 45, very hard book to put down, if all goes well I should be finishing the book soon.

7-29-10~I haven't read the book in two days, because the book right now is lagging. I do want to finish this book to see what is going to happen it may take another week or two. I am picking it up today and trying to get through it this morning to at least Part 3. I am stalled. I have another bookring to get to and I need to move. Have no fear I will finish this book!

8-1-10
I have decided to not finish this book as it is getting a bit boring for me, but I was told to hold onto it and send it to the next person. I will hopefully find out who that is. I am giving the book a 5 because there was a lot of good parts in Part 1 (which is why I read on to Part 2), Part 2 is where I am not wanting to read anymore. Sorry for giving up on this book, but I have another book I have been wanting to read for two weeks now, not related to bookcrossing.
