Bizarre is normally enough for me, not so with _How to Talk to Girl's at Parties_. I appreciate all of the elements in theory, honestly just chuck a couple of punks in lead roles and I can't be too unhappy, but all of these things together, in a Neil Gaiman story, should have been much better... Sho ... uld have been... Good. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
