Gaiman does do a great job of capturing that awkward teenage opposite sex drama, doesn't he? <br /><br />I love what you wrote about In the End. Viewed that way the story is much more interesting than what I have gotten out of it each time I've read/listened to it. Still not a fan of it, but that is a very interesting way to look at it.<br /><br />I agree about Goliath. I think I would have enjoyed it without the Matrix knowledge but I don't think I would have "got" it.Carl V.

I very much like the lesson about responsibility that you infer from it. This story was the first time that I had felt Gaiman's Jewish/scientologist background gave him a different angle on the creation myth - funnily enough, I wasn't as aware of it in the Susan story, despite the potential of that one to ruffle feathers (including my own).Jodie Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442935205880334932noreply@blogger.com
