Summary: Neverwhere? Nevermind?
Review: You know, I wanted to like this book. Everyone seems to believe that Neil Gaiman is the next Clive Barker. But I have to disagree. I have been trying to read this book for over 3 years, and I just keep getting bored. Why?I don't know. The premise is good; the characters are well-developed and the story definitely has "that" atmosphere I always love in "Wonderland-type tales." But for some reason, when I finally finished it, I thought, "Hmmm, what's all the fuss about?" It's well-crafted and very dark (which I like), but it doesn't have that something extra that makes one want everyone they know to read the book. AFTER READING "NEVERWHERE" A SECOND TIME, I LIKED IT BETTER AND RAISED MY OVERALL RATING FROM 3 TO 4 STARS. STILL, SOMETHING FEELS LIKE IT'S MISSING SOMEWHERE.

Summary: Angels are the first to fall
Review: This book was amazing! Wonderfully satirical in that dark, slightly morid way that I absolutely love. Richard is a poor, mundane office worker, caught up in his routine life when suddenly a pretty, albeit bleeding, girl falls practically into his arms. He's catapulted into a world that he knows nothing about, and is treated like a child by his new found friends while he discovers this world below London that he never knew existed. Hilariously frightening, this story takes all the aspects of fantasy, intertwining them with real human emotion. I would deffinetly recomend this book to anyone who loves fantasy, or even if you don't, this is a way to start apreciating the art of it. Also, it's a great way for readers who aren't firmiliar with Gaimen's writing style to begin to understand him. It's a GREAT book, full of twists and turns, and while reading you always have to remember one thing: Who can you trust when no one is trustworthy?

Summary: Definitely worthwhile reading.
Review: As long as you don't expect to be wowed by this little fantasy, I'm sure you'll find it a worthwhile way to spend an afternoon. The characters are nicely realized, the plot is engaging, and Gaiman is a master of dreaming up delightful, oddball creatures and goosebump-inducing villains. The plot twists were, at times, dissapointing....but that hardly takes away from the overall value of the story. Gaiman's just too darn good at what he does to let any minor mishaps detract much from the quality of his storytelling. Highly reccomended reading....and I beg you to check out Gaiman's other work as well.

Summary: Fascinating story; lackluster characters
Review: This story was built with a rich imagination. I loved reading about what odd scenario the characters would find themselves in next. It was clever, interesting, and quite a page turner. The characters, however, especially Richard and Door, were too shallow. I never took to them the way I wanted to. I didn't long for their success. Door had so much potential, but the details just never came out, and Richard, well he was mostly a doofus. If this author could make us really care for the characters, this would be world-class storytelling.

Summary: Awesome
Review: This is perhaps my favorite book ever. Neil Gaiman expertly creates a world on the edge of our own, where fantasy and reality meet.
I'm at a loss for words, this book is so good. Go read it. Now. You'll thank yourself.

Summary: too slow for me
Review: I saw all the positive reviews for this book and decided to grab it. I can't for the life of me figure out why people love it so much. It was one of the few books I didn't want to finish. Granted, it was excellent storytelling...but the story, in my opinion, is boring. With little to no action, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for a little adventure.

Summary: The dark world of London Below
Review: Neil writes excellent fantasy and in this book he takes us to a city below a city. I love this idea and find it fascinating that such a world "exists" underneath. Characters Richard Mayhew, Hunter, the Marquis, and Door set off on a quest for information. Richard wants to restore his world to normalcy...but what really is normalcy? Can normalcy be so fulfilling? Richard will never be the same...and neither will you. I like this story where the homeless and underdwellers can be heroes...where rats are respected and are viewed as friends. Refreshing and stimulating.

Summary: a journey between worlds, & into minds
Review: this book really made me think outside of myself and the well-trodden path. it's very seductive, in that's the characters are so real & their journey is so vivid, every time I read it I get pulled back into that world, underworld, overworld, around-us world.

Summary: Amazing
Review: This book is in the top three books I've ever read. It is absolutely amazing. If you don't read it in one sitting - you'll be thinking about it whenever you're not reading it. Buy it now! Read it now! You won't be sorry.

Summary: Very good
Review: This is my favorite Neil Gaiman book. Although at some points it's hard to follow, overall the story grabs your attention and keeps you from putting the book down until you are done.
