“In fitting fashion, I first read The Ocean at the End of the Lane several years ago and only just revisited it to find that my memories of it were totally different than what I was listening to. Neil Gaiman perfectly captures the trials of being young; the terrible and sometimes absurdist powerlessness of being a small person in a big person's world. But, at the same time, he reintroduces all of us to the childhoods we do or don't remember and the roads we've forgotten we once followed. The Ocean at the End of the Lane is truly a tremendous work of art -- made more magical by Gaiman's soothing, sorrowful, powerful voice. The best thing I could do was forget what I read, dream about it for years, and then finally relisten to it to find new magic in an old story.”
— Kvothe • Rediscovered Books
