I love his novels the best. It's amazing how many things he has done and has done well books, comics, TV, etc. And while I guess you can say he mainly works in the speculative fiction field. He has never done the same thing twice.

The Sandman is absolutely astonishing. Just... just the best Gaiman thing ever. Ever ever ever. You won't regret it if you read it.
I'm actually a wee bit iffy on some of his books. I loved Neverwhere and Coraline, but the longer ones I found to be a bit heavy-going and slightly sub-Clive Barker-ish, which has lead me to the conclusion that I like Gaiman best when his stories aren't really long (The Sandman may be 70 issues long, but it's more of a collection of stories with recurring characters rather than one huge narrative). I think the only thing by him I actually disliked was probably his screenplay for Beowulf, which was such a bollocks film. His other screenplays have all been fine, though ( ... )

But yeah I love Coraline, The Graveyard Book, Neverwhere and I enjoy Good Omens & Star Dust. Eventually I will probably check out Sandman.
I also just like his personality a lot. He's just very fan friendly & open and I have a lot of respect for him.
