Title:

The Ocean At The End Of The Lane
|
|
Author:
|
Neil Gaiman
|
|
Genre:
|
Supernatural/Fantasy/Fiction
|
|
Synopsis:
|
A young boy encounters a strange family and touches
another world where reality shifts and neither memory or perception can be
fully trusted.
|
|
Verdict:
|
A beautiful, haunting tale with moments of childhood
terror made real and powerful.
Gaiman has a gift for writing from the viewpoint of childhood
with the innocence and the terror that are each as powerful as the other.
Some of the ways that memory is used in this story remind me a bit of Fire and Hemlock by Diana Wynne Jones,
a possible hat tip from one friend to the work of the other.
