The first book I read by Neil Gaiman was Stardust. I made my students read it in the English class. One boy loved it so much he asked his parents for his own copy that Christmas. My life made sense in that moment😁
i end up getting a Neil Gaiman book at a goodwill store called American Gods after seeing abit on youtube for the show i had to pick the book up & i go those places for the books cuz i get the books around $2 to $6 each & how many i can get if they do a deal as will
TIL that movie Stardust was based on a Gaiman book (I've never read any Gaiman, but watched the sandman and thought that was good aside from the fact that suffered from ESG syndrome like all modern shows)
The Graveyard Book was the first Neil Gaiman book I read and is still one of my favs.
The Graveyard Book is one of my favorite books , and I have read many. I am a retired Middle School English teacher and used to read this book with my seventh and eighth graders. We all loved it. I had 5 classes of about 35 students. I have probably read it 12+ times, out loud; no exaggeration. Happy times. I love his short stories as well. All of his work.
The way you described how Neil Gaiman writes for children & adults is perfect. I really enjoy his stuff. Coraline was my introduction to him, which came out when I was a kid and it terrified me, but I loved that about it.
It still terrifies me but it’s fab haha
I started with his history of Norse Mythology and the way it still kept a narrative was really great. Totally lead me to his other works. :)
Norse Mythology really is great 👌
I’d say start with his comics there some of the best comics ever made
This was EXACTLY my experience of reading Ocean at the End of the Lane. And that was my first Gaiman.
Hooray!!!!!! Ocean is the best 🥰
Love love love the Coraline sweater!
The first book I read by Neil Gaiman was Coraline. I read it years ago and loved it! It was so good! I am going to read more of his books and I am going to read Coraline again.
I started with Smoke and Mirrors so many varied but amazing short stories. Loved everything from the strange comedy of Shoggoths Old Peculiar to the angel detective story Murder Mysteries
I particularly loved the angel detective
I am super late to finding your channel. I am excited to get to reading. I am 44 and was told my trouble with reading in school was dyslexia and now at 44 have been diagnosed with ADHD and that might be my problem. I love to read but have such a tough time with understanding. Anyway, I have recently decided to start reading again. Finding your channel has been very motivating thank you. In the last 3 years one of the books I did read was star dust because I love the movie and it was nice to hear your opinions because I love Neil Gaiman.
Of course , now after reading 2 Gaiman books, does TH-cam recommend this to me... Great video though and a very concise and good overview of his oeuvre !
My first and still favorite Neil Gaiman book was The Graveyard Book. It's simply wonderful.
My introduction to Neil was through the original Sandman series. A friend let me borrow 20 or so books and I almost read through them all night. The story telling got me. Next was the film Stardust, which I also loved. After that I haven't read any other book but I have listened to them all on Audible and like Liene mentions Neil reads his stories quite well. I listened to American Gods, which had a number of actors playing the parts and that is how I got through that. So if reading a Gaiman book seems daunting try listening to it instead to me so much better.
This was super helpful, thanks! I've been wanting to give Gaiman another try. I read American Gods 15+ years ago and it was a bit too much for me as a younger teenager, so I never picked up anything else by him. (Other than Good Omens, which is one of my favorite books of all time.)
Good Omens is a gem for sure 👌
My first of his was the spinoffs to The Sandman about Death, but my favorite is Neverwhere, though I've learned that one seems to be pretty polarizing even among fans. I guess all of his stuff is so different that you could say that about practically anything he's written lol
My first book and favorite always would be Coraline.
My next book will be The Graveyard Book, I don't know why I haven't picked up his books sooner, I listened to Neverwhere when the BBC did a rebroadcast of the show and since then I had it in the back of my head to get that book, too.... One day! 😅
The first Neil Gaiman that I read was Coraline, but The Graveyard Book got me hooked. I own a bunch of his books that I need to read.
So, I was looking for your First Law videos and, like a kid in a candy store, seized upon this video first. I have long loved American Gods (the book, not the television series) and have even taught it several times in my Fantasy Novels course. It’s one of the best fantasy books to teach because Gaiman’s writing is excellent and theme heavy. I also adored The Ocean at the End of the Lane, which had me feeling like I was living in a dream. I love your insight that Gaiman writes for children like they’re adults and for adults like they’re children. Fantastic video - thanks!
A Gaiman fan too?! Sir, I do believe we are kindred spirits 😃
As for Abercrombie, I have an entire playlist with all my Abercrombie videos 😉
@@LienesLibrary Oh, right! A playlist- Nine months in, and I’m still learning this TH-cam thing. I’ll find it!
@@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy I think it’s linked at the end of every one of my videos 😜
@@LienesLibrary Ha ha! Perfect! I think I can find that.
Alright you’ve convinced me! I’ll give him one more go. I loved American gods and DNF’d Neverwhere. And loathed coraline (read this with my child). I want to love him so much though. Lol. I think I’ll try the ocean at the end of the lane, as my last attempt :)
I will probably start with The Graveyard book, but am interested in American Gods and Norse Mythology by him. I have an affinity I guess you could say to mythology, love reading about it and retellings.
I read Stardust in high school and hated it and thought I would never read Gaiman again. But then I read Good Omens and it became my all time favorite book. After that, I devoured every book of his.
It's blurred out but I respect anyone who has a copy of the Name of the Wind and a Wise Man's Fear on their shelf. Thanks for clarifying, doing some research on Stardust
I love him as well.
I started with american gods and was kind of conflicted about it, and I reread it last year. and I love it! I also loved Good omens, stardust and the view from the cheapseats. Also I really want to finish the graveyard book!
I still need to read A View From the Cheap Seats! I love love love The Graveyard Book 🤗
I'm watching this as my copy of American Gods leers at me, waiting for me to finally read it.
Perfect music over this by the way.
Not leering, gazing hopefully
I gave into the book's hopes and read a huge chunk of it. I really like it, but I'm not surprised. It's Gaiman after all.
just finished neverwhere it was fire
American Gods is still one of my favorite fantasy books to this day! I’ve had to buy numerous editions as I’m wearing them out alarmingly quick lol. They are currently publishing it in graphic novel form as well (up to #3 I think)
The Chapter about Essie broke me. Ive never had the privilege of reading writing that smooth before or since
I tried reading never where a few years ago, but I was kinda in a slump so I decided to quit and try another day. I'm gonna give it another try. I've been meaning to get Norse Mythology for a while now.
Maybe try them on audio 👌
@@LienesLibrary I'll try that for sure! Him narrating must be great
my first book i ever read by Neil Gaiman was Coraline, and i read it at 8. he has been my favorite author ever since and im now 20.
so good and so spooky!
American Gods was my first Gaiman and I was bored. I haven't read anything else because I didn't like what I read. But you have convinced me to try something else. Maybe ocean at the end of the lane will be my next read.
Ocean is my favorite 👌
Take this for what you will, you might be better off reading Neverwhere, Anansi Boys, or anything else by Gaiman. I wasn't a fan of American Gods and I found Ocean at the End of the Lane to be the same level of boring.
I have Gaimans American Gods + Anansi boys in the "leatherbound" special edition (bonded leather I believe, which honestly I wish they stopped doing. I love leather but if it's not actual proper leather just give me plastic or rubber that imitates leather over the bonded leather crp that flakes with a touch)
Anyway, was thinking of reading it after finishing the book new the new sun. But I'm not sure yet. Never read Gaiman, but liked his Sandman show despite it suffering from the ESG syndrome so typical to movies and shows of the past 10 or so years
My friends have the same joke about me doing a shot every time I mention Neil Gaiman 😂
Haha you liked my comment as I was in the middle of reading Sandman ✌️ good timing :P
Is it bad that my favourite book of his so far is Norse Mythology so not and original story. 1/3 through American Gods and it’s good but weird
Norse Mythology was a bit of a passion project for him so I don’t think he’d mind haha
The eye roll 🙄
Neverwhere was my first book i read. Caroline was the first movie of his writing i watched. I decided to search all his books and found a book haven to be buried in throughout my semester holiday. Awesome
I’ve only read Stardust, but, not to be rude, I was kind of disappointed. I’ve heard so many great things about Neil Gaiman and it just didn’t live up to my expectations. I liked the prose and the world-building, but the overall plot not so much. I still want to read more of his work though, so this video was really helpful. From your description I think American Gods would be right up my alley. Anyways, thanks for the advice! Also, what were your thoughts on stardust?
I actually didn’t care for stardust either so don’t let that book dissuade you from reading more of his work 😋
@@LienesLibrary thanks for the reply! I definitely will be checking out more of his work 😊
Hey Liene I hope you still see get to see this comment even though i’m late. But I’m going to read my first Gaiman book.
That book is The Ocean at the End of the Lane, and it was before I even watched this video the book comes in the mail tomorrow.
To me it really sounds like The Little Prince but for adults, and i’m a sucker for good character writing, especially for a well written childhood.
I think I smell a new favorite of mine for this year, it sounds right up my alley.
You talked way to much about everything but the books
Neverwhere has to be a favorite and I would love a sequel!
I don't think American Gods is that long but yes I would agree don't start there with him, although it is where I started as well.
Haha what’s with us telling people to start elsewhere when that’s where we started 😂
@@LienesLibrary haha not sure maybe it’s cause we know gaiman better now
Where to start, indeed. 🙄
Seems like I discover new booktube channels every day.
1. Starts of with Abercrombie on a totally unrelated video
2. Good voice & Cute
3. Fan of Abercrombie
Guess I'm subbing
Im starting with “Trigger Warning”, did I completely miss my first shot? ahahah
Start anywhere you like, just so long as you do start 😌
@@LienesLibrary hahah true! I'm also getting the Norse Mythology one ❤️
@@TheOnePandemonium oh excellent! Gaiman reads the audio for that, highly recommend
@@LienesLibrary ohmygod I need to search that!! I could draw while I "read" 😍
Years ago he claimed to have plans for sequels to 'Stardust' and 'American Gods.' I'm starting to think he's a liar. I know 'Gods' got a couple of Shadow-centric short stories, but those don't count.
Favorite thing he's ever written? "Season of Mists," no question about it.
My favorite is Ocean however I haven’t read Season of Mists so perhaps that will dethrone it 🤔
@@LienesLibrary 'Ocean' is my favorite novel of his, no question about it.
@@mhatt9773 🙌🙌🙌
Eh a bit overrated maybe more than a bit
