Well he's certainly popular, I enjoy his writing for what it is, delightful and clever. It's not brilliant or anything, but it's his own art, and everyone ought to have the right to that.

apparently you didn't pay much attention to any of his work. his book american gods changed my very ideas on god and the gods.

That can be asked of most celebrities. But I wouldn't apply this to Mr. Gaiman, however, since I find his work delightful, even if you find it mediocre.

shouldn't the question be, "how do such judgmental idiots like you manage to even learn to write?"

Well Stardust can be considered both Fantasy and Science Fiction. He's also done a science fiction comic (the writing part, that is), but I can't remember the name.

i 've read american gods and good omens and smoke and mirrors and the best is smoke and mirrors (I truly loved it) which is composed of several stories so if you don't like one you can enjoy the other. this video is boring.
