Fragile Things: Stories Audiobook

" I admire NG's imagination, and I enjoy his deviously whimsical style. His stories somehow don't deeply satisfy, but they always amuse. This particular collection isn't a carefully crafted mix, but a pleasant array of odds/ends -- a fun diversion, nothing more and nothing less. "

" An interesting and enjoyable collection of short stories and poems. "

" Enjoyable, preferred the more down to earth, "human" style stories. The more fantastical ones tend to come off as a tad bland for my taste. "

" Though not as good as Smoke and Mirrors this book is still full of wonderful and eerie short stories. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves short stories. "

" Read this on audio book. Maybe that's why I didn't like it as much as some of his other work? "

" Mixed..beberapa cerita bagus kayak october in the chair, forbidden brides sama the problem of susan. Beberapa cerita sama sekali ga bs dimengerti (ato aku yg vocab bhs inggrisnya kurang?), misalnya strange little girls, diseasemaker's croup, sunbird. "

" I won't say it was my favourite thing by Gaiman, but I did enjoy most of what was in the book. "

" I especially liked the poems. "

" A good mix of dark, playful, mysterious, fanciful, and thought-provoking stories. A great book to take your time with. "

" The perfect autumnal read! "

" I really liked some of the short stories but wasn't that impressed with others, so it gets 3 stars. "

" This collection of short stories had some real gems others just didn't come together for me. But all in all worth the time. "

" Really prefer his novels instead of his short story collections. "

" I like Neil Gaiman, in general. But the stories in this ranged from mediocre to boring with only one I really loved, so that was a little disappointing. "

" Some really lovely stories, combined with a lot of stuff I just couldn't make myself care about. "

" I repeat, Mmmmm... Gaiman. I worship this man. You all know this by now. I was not going to buy this, but I think now I really have to. "

" Short stories on old subjects, with the twists of the supporting ideas of the tales. Can you handle the back story, like to have your conscience plucked? These will do just that. "

" There are better Gaiman books to read but no better narrator. I continue to love the author's narration, but this collection of stories could be trimmed a bit. Some are not ready for primetime. "

" Spotty. Sone pieces were beautiful and others were just ok. Worth reading though. "

" Written for an American audience Reference to Beowulf in the novella from the American gods Could not be used at school -language is offensive "

" He can do no wrong...if you are a true Gaiman fan, you know exactly what I mean! This collection is one of my personal favorites of chilling, scary, strory-telling that involves you as the reader in the middle of Gaiman's worlds. Loved it! "

" Good. I liked many of these. I have problems with short story collections, because by the end I sort of just want to be done and I like O.D. on them. Still I like Gaiman's writing. I wouldn't start with these stories, I would read something else first. "

" Suffers the fate of most collections; one falls in love with some stories while other are just a passing fancy or doomed from the start. Some of the juxtapositions of stories were clunky, but as usual, lots of imaginative concepts. "

" So far a lot of great stories. I prefer short story books with a variety of authors, but Gaiman is one of the great ones. "

" Collection of short stories that are good light reading. Highly recommend "October in the Chair" "

" This was an audiobook, and he was doing his own reading. He is a very talented reader as well as a good writer. I liked his writing style very well, but the stories were a little creepy and I don't need more stress in my life right now. I didn't finish the book. "
