Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Skottie Young

Fortunately, the MilkIt has been awhile since I've put any new reviews and even longer since I've finished a real book. First there was the whole buying a house thing and then moving into that house, and then unpacking everything in the house and then once all that was done instead of resuming my reading I ended up buying NCAA Football 13 for XBox and am in the middle of trying to win the MAC conference championship in my third season at UMass.... So eventually I'll finish that book that I've been reading since well before Halloween. But since Christmas came and passed I used that opportunity to buy a Neil Gaiman children's book, read it quickly, and then use it as a gift to someone. I've known that some of his books venture into YA territory but I was curious how weird one of his children's books would be.

So I don't really have that much to say about Fortunately, the Milk except that it is a pretty good book for kids I guess. The premise is that a dad goes out to buy milk for his kids cereal and ends up taking a really long time so he has to make up a crazy story to tell his kids about what took him so long. His story has time travel, dinosaurs, pirates, etc. I suppose I really wouldn't recommend it if you have to actually pay for it, but if someone hands it to you and you have nothing better to do it'll pass the time. I'll give it a B.
