"Odd and the Frost Giants" by Neil Gaiman

"Odd and the Frost Giants" *JF Novel* - by Neil Gaiman (118 pages).
I don't really know where to begin. The story is fun and entangling (not in the confusing sense, but really easy to fall into). I don't normally read novels (due to my personal bias of most authors) but this was recommended to me and I couldn't say no. The story revolves around a kid named Odd and how his life sucked. Without giving too much away, the first chapter is set up like a Disney movie (one that is certain to make you cry for an animated character). It's good that talking animals are introduced soon after...otherwise I don't think I'd be able to finish it without returning it water damaged.
