someone on SA said earlier and i agree completely that you can tell the parts Pratchett wrote and the parts Gaiman wrote because the Pratchett parts are funny and clever and the Gaiman parts are boring and suck poo poo

What are you talking about, Gaiman's portions were amazing, the Four Horsemen were extremely clever and interesting. Remember how the one ran a diet company, and the other was Looten Plunder from Captain Planet?

no death was extremely clever and interesting, the other three were boring poo poo. death being, of course, pratchett's character

You mean the version of Death that clearly borrowed from Pratchett rather than Gaiman?

Gaiman always reads like an idea man, who then inexpertly tries to turn a gimmick idea into a book.

"Hey, like what if I took pagan gods, but made them more American?"
*Writes out an ending chapter and a couple interludes on this premise*
*Shits out 20 chapters of stream-of-conciousness with nothing happening*

in other words he's a genre fic writer
