Even if I had not met the man himself, I would still love reading Neil Gaiman’s work. I loved Sandman - if I had read that when I was 16, I’m fairly certain things at that point in my life would’ve taken a turn for the better. Of course, not everyone loves Neil Gaiman’s work. And why should they? I just wish they wouldn’t express their dislike so disrespectfully -

I hope this reaches neil himself. Never have i ever known of anyone as full of himself as well as ****, than you. Now another milestone in your over-hyped career, Writing Batman. Not only are you under the impression you can write, but write batman? **** You. You Tried before and it sucked. It was just gaiman… With Batman in it. **** You.

I’ve met Neil during a reading and autograph signing session in Tasmania. And even though he must’ve been very tired after a long trip, he still struck me as being an incredibly nice (and talented) man. So it upsets me when people (if you can call them people) send such foul-mouthed letters. I’m pretty certain Neil doesn’t mind it if someone doesn’t like his work - although I suspect it might bother him even more if the person didn’t even read any books at all. Like this idiot probably does.
