WOW!! just wow!. I've always wanted to attend this kind of show and neil gaiman is one of my favorite authors. Ever since I discovered his America gods,I really wanted to attend his talk! I also enjoyed Coraline too and was writing an essay about it for my child-lit class.Must've been awesome being there.
It's pretty remarkable how something so simple, watching a man stand on stage and read... can be so entertaining! I have a feeling Neil's voice and accent serve him well in his public speaking popularity. When he reads his works aloud they come off as good or better than on the printed page which is something I don't think many authors could claim.
