Re: Neil Gaiman. I've tried two of his books and have been less than impressed (American Gods and Stardust - liked the latter better than the former), but I hear so many good things about his books that I keep thinking I must be missing something. Is it worth it for me to keep trying, or are those two a pretty good representation of how he writes? Neverwhere and The Ocean... have both been recommended quite highly to me... and sound fairly different.
You Are Not Alone. 
I really can't stand Neil Gaiman's work. I've tried and tried, and I just can't get caught up. It feels like slogging through homework for a class I didn't want to take.
I really wanted to like American Gods. I love Tom Holt's riffs on the Norse gods in modern times. I loved Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently books, which do basically the same idea. But... ugh. Just ugh. It was like someone giving me a glass of used motor oil and insisting it was wine.
Do we have an Unpopular Opinions thread yet? Cause if not, I think I may have just started it... 
You can count me in too. I don't even remember which one I started but i just couldn't get into it.
