Tiffany Fink<strong>Beautiful, Powerful and Heartwarming story… </strong><br/><br/>This is the first Neil Gaiman book I’ve read. I don’t normally read Sci-fi novels, but I felt a deep connection with this. The coming of age novel, and all the challenges that come with it. It had me reflecting on my own childhood and how I felt, and what I did when I was little. I love the symbolism of the pond being like an ocean. The relationship between the main character and Lettie was great, very genuine and real. Gaiman has a way with words, and how he creates scenes and sets up the emotional struggle of his characters is remarkable. It was/is kinds of sad that the boy grows up and lives a whole life, but is always with Lettie. He goes back to her farm and visits her family, and tries recapture, reminiscing about the girl he met. He believed in and deeply loved Lettie. She cared and loved him as well. There was an unbreakable bond that these two developed. Idk, if his memory is to blame, or if they made it so that way he couldn’t remember important parks of what happened. But, the intimacy, imagination and over all trajectory of the story was really well played out. It makes me think that there might possibly be another book about his life and when he grows up. I really enjoyed that there is a deep connection with death and dying. I personally have experience death, and my life has changed because of it. So it’s interesting that since he died, he had a very interesting experience with life henceforth. It was a short, sweet novel and I really enjoyed it. Thanks Gaiman!
