Query: First time Neil Gaiman reader

As the title suggests, this is the Neil Gaiman book I have read.The book was a very easy read. The writing flowed very well and when I put the book down, it left a lasting impression. The book has something to teach you, and offers several different perspectives on things you might have already known. I found myself looking on the map for a lot of the locations that were spoken about, and it made me excited to travel the Americas some day. For these reasons I give it the 4 stars.The one area that this book failed, and the reason it did not get 5 stars, was because of the small short stories that would inject themselves into the main story. The main plot progresses fairly rapidly, and then out of no where, you are looking through the eyes of 2 black slaves, or a native woman with some connection (not much) to the main story. I skimmed the book once I completed it and found that if these little stories were removed, I would consider this a much better book overall.
