Journal Entry 1 by butterfly-noir from Lisboa - City, Lisboa (cidade) Portugal on Tuesday, April 22, 2008

From Amazon.com:
This anthology of short stories, and the occasional story poem, is vintage Neil Gaiman: quirky, sometimes very funny, often dark and disturbing. Most have been published before, but are hard to find elsewhere and cover all of Gaiman's writing life. As Gaiman says in his introduction, "most of the stories in this book are about love in some form or another," but not requited love. The stories in Smoke and Mirrors touch on all of Gaiman's themes: sex, death, dreams, and the end of the world. From "Chivalry," about the Holy Grail and where it finally ended up, to "Troll Bridge," a very adult version of "The Three Billy Goats Gruff"; from "Bay Wolf," a story poem that melds Beowulf and Baywatch, with interesting results, to "Murder Mysteries," which is about a murder, but also about angels, God's will, and Evil, these stories leave lasting impressions. Fans of Ray Bradbury's short stories and of Gaiman's other works will enjoy this collection.

Journal Entry 3 by TonyAlmeida from Vagos, Aveiro Portugal on Tuesday, January 13, 2009

Estando actualmente numa "fase Gaiman", este é sem dúvida um empréstimo muito agradável. E também se trata de um empréstimo que me surpreendeu porque, uma vez que não voltamos a falar neste livro, eu já não me lembrava dele.

butterfly-noir, muito obrigado pelo empréstimo. Apesar de andar a ler a um ritmo um pouco mais baixo, tentarei não demorar muuuuuuuuito tempo com ele. Em todo caso, e tal como prometido, será cuidadosamente tratado (tratamento VIP :-D)
