I'm from Brazilian and I read this book in Portuguese version.

This book is the kind that we read quickly, devouring every word and enchanting ourselves with Chris Riddlell's illustrations. On each page we have Neil Gaiman's thoughts, with phrases that make reflect on some aspects of live, for example: There is no way to simply kill a person and make their ideas and thoughts simply cease to exist because repressing an idea is really spreads ideas.

In other excerpts, the author also tells us about his childhood and how living near a library with great librarians who didn't judge him and treatd him with respect helped him became the adult he's today. There are also excerpts about his adult life where he says taht it's part of making mistakes and that's okay.

A light read that I recommend, it's a good reading option for anyone who is out of time or just wants somethig quick to read after a long book or simply to reflect on life, art, ideas, mistakes and successes.
