Not into comics.
Borrowed from PenguinSilja.
One of my favourite authors. I've never read this one, but have heard good things about it.

I had heard allegations that Harry Potter was based on this, so it wasn't quite what I expected. There's a slight, dark haired boy with glasses who discovers he has a magical inheritance and gets an owl. That's the only similarity. This is a lot more grown up than HP.
The art work is interesting, not very comic-like.
It's a Neil Gaiman book, of course it's good.

First book in the series and a great read. Will have to buy this for myself. I have some of the later books in this series and this makes sense of some of what happens later.
