具体描述
Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie—magical, comforting, wise beyond her years—promised to protect him, no matter what.
A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. It is a stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.
作者简介
I make things up and write them down. Which takes us from comics (like SANDMAN) to novels (like ANANSI BOYS and AMERICAN GODS) to short stories (some are collected in SMOKE AND MIRRORS) and to occasionally movies (like Dave McKean's MIRRORMASK or the NEVERWHERE TV series, or my own short film A SHORT FILM ABOUT JOHN BOLTON).
In my spare time I read and sleep and eat and try to keep the blog at www.neilgaiman.com more or less up to date.

读后感
这是最新一期的译文版的主打长篇。 译文版在长达半年的时间里一直都被我放在洗手间的柜子里，每次如厕的时候拿出来看，看几页放下也不觉得可惜，一个月的时间看完一本然后再看新的，故事也越来越沉闷。直到遇到《车道尽头的海洋》。 盖曼大叔的作品陆陆续续读过一些，但没那一...
评分 评分有剧透有剧透有剧透有剧透有剧透有剧透 故事是简单的。展开是神奇的。缅怀是惆怅的。细思是略恐的。 一开始平常，主角回家参加一个葬礼，始终没提是谁的葬礼。 然后他回忆七岁那年发生的一件事。盖曼的惊悚常态出现。小猫被压死了...房客自杀了...邻居不寻常-----都用平常...
评分这些年下来，尼尔盖曼的书断断续续也看了不少。印象中它们大多是温暖的，这种温暖可以包裹在传说故事中（《星尘》），也可以经由惊悚悬疑的调调慢慢抽丝剥茧引出（《蜘蛛男孩》），甚至可以以哥特的风格呈现出来（《坟场之书》）。题材风格于小说只是一种表现形式，而作者...

用户评价
第一次在overdrive上面借audiobook。三星半。四天听完开头结尾就还了，看了看本书wiki，发现剧情笔记冗长黑暗，庆幸自己的安排。作者很用心，能感觉真诚、intimate，但是男主太过被动懦弱，没有成长线也没有感情线…
评分海里那段非常美，总感觉那个pond是子宫的隐喻，特别是“So you used to know everything?" "Everybody did."那段。盖曼自己念的有声书小孩子和老太太的声调处理得很好，还献歌两段XDDD
评分As simple as children's book, but the meanings behind it are way beyond than what you expected. You will be surprised, like I did.
