具體描述
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.
著者簡介
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.

讀後感
This is my smallest book, it's my most personal book. But just because it's small, don't let that fool you. There is weirdness and fantasy, there is magic and fear, there is childhood and an awful lot more wrapped up in a tiny package, just in the way that ...
評分读的时候不停怀疑“他是不是发挥失常了”“这次写得太平常了”；可当我读完整本合上书那之后的整整一天，都还沉浸在故事的气氛和情绪里无法自拔。不得不说这次的老梗用得非常常规流式化，但是盖曼的本事就是这样的：在最通俗最常见的桥段里细细浸满了悲伤、哀恸、希望、...
評分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...

用戶評價
太溫柔的一本小書。尼爾蓋曼怎麼能記得那麼多的事情。童年那麼多恐懼，不應該隨著年紀被一把又一把時間的土埋得嚴嚴實實嗎。
评分雖以七歲孩子視角來寫，不適閤孩童。黑暗無幽默。驚悚瑰麗一如往常。
评分#很多情節穿越去瞭DW.......
评分開頭和中段好過結尾。A page-turner.
评分看的譯文版，我看過的幾部NG大叔作品裏最差的......
