The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman

My, (too high), expectations caused me to be slightly disappointed in this book.
The Ocean at the End of the Lane was a fairy tale type story, but somehow it just felt short of reaching the level of magic that I was seeking. It was well written and the characters were memorable, but I'm still left with this unsatisfied feeling and I can't seem to come up with an exact reason why.
I reserve the right to come back and modify this review when I can get a better handle on what I want to say.
