Really enjoyed this. I've been meaning to read it for quite a while, and it did not disappoint. Interesting premise, and of course Gaiman's writing is a joy. Some lines made me laugh out loud, which is rare for a book. For example: “The house smelled musty and damp, and a little sweet, as if it were haunted by the ghosts of long-dead cookies.”

I listened to the full-cast audiobook, which is read from the "author's preferred text." Highly recommend.

Great information, much to think about.

However, skimming certain chapters would be a quicker way through, and you'd get just as much out of it.

A lot of fun. Didn't know much about Hawkeye, but love the character in the movies. Read some reviews of this series and decided to check it out. Glad I did.

Great read. Jumped right in and never really slowed down. Love the format, as well as how much info you actually don't get, such as about his life before he went to Mars. Ready for the movie.

Some good information in here. Unfortunately the format, which starts off as clever and easy to read, eventually becomes too light and distracting. This makes it too easy to just skim past things.

Others have loved the format, so obviously this is a matter of opinion. And some of the information is worth the effort. But I'm not sure I would again buy a book that is mostly clip art.

It's easy to forget how controversial King was. This is a good tonic for that. There are some notes, but the commentary is minimal, letting King speak for himself.

Interesting idea, and there's a lot to take in here. Others have noted that you don't really read this book are much as peruse it, and that's my experience: I read the first half dozen or so, then flipped around a bit.

While the info is interesting, it suffers from a big case of "so what?" A lot of people are covered, but none in depth, and there are no patterns.

If I had bought a copy I could see myself referring back to it as I come across new people ("I wonder if they're in there?").

Not a waste of time at all, but not the most enlightening read, either.
