I dragged my feet about reading this book even though it was recommended to me by a variety of people whose opinions I generally respect. Since Neil Gaiman writes comic books (Whoops! I mean "graphic novels" :-) I figured this wouldn't be my cup of tea.

Boy, was I wrong. It's a great novel with stellar writing, as well as interesting well-developed characters and a pleasing meandering sort of plot development that makes you want to sit down with it after a bad day. I was a reluctant convert, but I'm recommending this to everyone.
