Summary: Down the rabbit hole into London
Review: This was an amazing book! Living in NYC it made me really think about those random "dead ends" and the gap between the subway and the platform.

I really wanted to visit the London Underground (and I don't mean the subway) after reading this delightful and absorbing novel. The characters were well written and memorable.

Pick this book up and I promise you will not want to put it down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The rabbit hole is a sewer
Review: After reading this book,I can easily say that I don't trust the darkness. Gaiman awed me with his work on The Sandman and this only increases my loyalty to his works.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: many things, mostly good
Review: this is a strange, funny, creepy, interesting, uncomfortable, twitchy, atmospheric, poetic book. how someone can write about characters who have no souls and no compassion and nothing that would make them remotely human or likable, and then on the next page write about the kindest, most human things is completely beyond me, but however you do it, neil does. nothing happened quite the way i expected it to, and to be completely honest i didn't think richard, the main character, had much of a character, but it was a good read and i was amazed at how neil can write so beautifully about the ugliest, most horrendous things.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this is my BY FAR favorite book!!!
Review: I picked neverwhere up oneday and I've read it four times since then. An absolute masterpiece by Gaiman and as far as I've read... his absolute BEST!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I didn't want it to end!
Review: George Lucas once said that a story is only as effective as its villian, and Neil Gaiman certainly took that to heart! Let me star by saying that I LOVED this book, and I hated to see it end. The setting is brilliant, the puns clever, the characters were unforgettable and I can only hope this is the start of a series that Mr. Gaiman plans on continuing. The highlight however, for me, were the villians Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar. Two rogues so ghastly and vile, so audaciously disgusting that most other antagonist from best sellers pale by comparison. My hats off to you, Mr. Gaiman, you have created a masterpiece!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Eagerly awaiting the sequel.
Review: This book takes the reader into the fantastical world of London Below--the underground world that is very wonderful and frightening. I picked this book up on a whim, and now I can't quit thinking about it. The characters are intriguing, yet mysterious. We never know quite everything, which leaves it open for numerous sequels. I can't wait. Very good work, Neil!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book rocks.
Review: Everyone's heard of someone devouring a book. I call this the type of book that eats you. It's complex enough to be really interesting and exciting, yet still easy and fun to read. After I finished the book I was haunted by the characters for weeks. I'm using in my freshman English classes now. I can't wait to get their reactions.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Compulsively readable, but ultimately disappointing
Review: I read this book with pleasure, but it was the kind of pleasure that I get from eating junk food: it was fun while it lasted, but I didn't get much out of it.

Not that this is a "junk" book. It's well-written and entertaining, and some of the images are quite beautiful. Its great asset is its atmosphere -- its rich setting, and the wealth of visual detail. Underneath that, though, there's nothing much. The plot is a standard quest story, and, more damningly, the characters are thin. The "once you've had a taste of magic and adventure you'll never be satisfied with a conventional life" ending is, well, an awfully conventional fantasy ending. How ironic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: pure magic
Review: After 'discovering' Jonathan Carroll, I did not expect to ever stumble upon another author whose stories evoke similar moods and feelings. But Neil Gaiman is such an author, and now I impatiently wait for more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent, and exciting read!
Review: I've just completed Neverwhere. I never put it down! Right from the beginning I knew I was in capable hands, and relaxed knowing I wouldnt be let down. I've never read Gaiman before, so this was a new experience. I am eagerly awaiting an other books that explore the Under World of London!
