review 1: Even though I consider myself a fan of Neil Gaiman, I never realized the amount of work he produced that I didn't know about. I am thankful for finding this book which was printed in 2008.Pretty much the entire book is a listing of Neil's work with some behind the scenes information and background from artists and other writers. I am a huge fan of his Sandman series and really enjoyed finding out some tidbits that I missed as I've read the comics over and over. The last quarter of the book is a detailed interview with Neil that pretty much covers everything you would want to know about him and his work. I think the only thing I didn't discover was what his favorite color was, though I'm guessing it's black.In the end, I would definitely recommend this book to readers w... moreho have experienced some of his different works and would like to know more about where his ideas come from. This is not a book for someone looking for a biography or to learn how to write from Neil. All in all, I'm really happy I found it.
review 2: Prince of Stories: The Many Worlds of Neil Gaiman is a true-blue Gaimaniac’s ticket for a marvelous romp to the life of this literary rock star. This is practically a complete package, a 3-in-1 if you will—a pseudo-biography, a compilation of detailed reviews, and a bibliography of his works. The readers are given glimpses of Gaiman’s life through interviews, conversations with author friends, quotable quotes, and short anecdotes of the author from being a journalist to being a novelist. There are even family pictures and artworks from some of his masterpieces. As a late bloomer in the worlds of Gaiman, I must say that this tome became such an interesting and enjoyable treat for me; I learned a lot about the Dream King.However, there are parts that are not spoiler-free so readers who haven’t read many of Gaiman’s works should be careful. All his works—graphic novels, YA books, children’s stories—are enormously detailed in different sections, complete from plot summaries to character analyses. Aside from that, this is chock-full of fun stuff that a hardcore Gaiman fan would love. XD less
