Has anyone read The Ocean at the End of the Lane, by Neil Gaiman?

... any thoughts, I here it might be a bit dark, not really what I'm looking for, but at 250 or so pages, I'm thinking I might give it a go.
Also thinking about getting the classic Sherlock Holmes stories and wondering if anyone knows the best way of doing so.
There's this on Amazon,...

However, I'm struggling to imagine holding a 1500 page book!!
Also heard that it may have been Americanised a little, not that I'd necessarily mind, as I haven't read any before.
