Summary: Perfect
Review: A perfect construction of place and character. Gaiman has, for a while now, been on my "automatic purchase" list and so I didn't have to decide whether or not to purchase Neverwhere. Neither do you

Summary: The coolest book in the world!
Review: I just read Neverwhere and then when I finished I started again at the beginning. It is so funny and sad and I loved all of the characters. The end was a complete suprise to me, and I was crying. I especially liked Door and the marquis de cabaras, and I just hope he writes more books like this. I loved it

Summary: A fun read!
Review: This book is a real fun read. I read the British version and really enjoyed it. It is the story of 2 Londons, the London that we know and the London underneath which is invisible to us and what happens when someone for above falls throught to the underworld. I hope that we get to see the tv program that was made of this.

Summary: A Superb Gaiman Fantasy
Review: As we haven't had the TV series yet downunder, I was lucky enough to read this first, and loved it. The usual Gaiman magic, laced with quirky humour and wonderful use of the classic London place names. For someone like me who lived in London some years ago and has fond memories, it was doubly delightful. First class stuff - highly recommended

Summary: A Pleasant Suprise
Review: I'm a fan of Gaiman's work on Sandman, but held back from reading his novels. Often, good comic writers can't translate into prose form .... but Gaiman is certainly an exception to that rule. This novel has excellent plotting, dialogue, and characterization. Which I expected - what I didn't expect was the detail in the descriptions, and just the plain great prose. This is a very good fantasy novel which contains a world and characters that have some true depth. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Gaiman is a Pro at Weaving Worlds You Get Lost In
Review: I read American Gods last year and loved it, eager to read what else the author of the fabulous "Sandman" graphic novels has written, I picked up Neverwhere and read it in a day. Here, Gaiman takes the real life "London Underground" system of subways and tube stations and adds a twist, a magical world beyond the underground, London Below where pockets of lost time and places are filled with the forgotten people of the world. London Below is a world of Baronies and Fiefdoms, of angels, beasts and killers. Richard Mayhew, a securities analyst gets drawn into this secret, invisible world when he helps what appears to be an injured homeless woman. Because of his contact with her and some of the people from her world, he slowly disappears from his own reality. It seems that most people aboveground cannot deal with the reality of London Below so they conveniently can't see them or anything they do. A classic quest follows with an interesting cast of characters. Richard and The Lady Door, together with a reprobate Marquis and a bodyguard head off through danger to find answers. You enter the world of rat speakers, sewer dwellers and secret societies. It's all very interesting and funny as well as giving the reader the occasional scare. Below is a world where nothing is what it seems and danger lurks everywhere and yet, its inhabitants seem to derive pleasure from their lives despite that. As with Gods, Gaiman weaves his mythical world into the tapestry of the "reality" of every day life and there are times when you aren't sure if what is happening is just a manifestation of Richard's insanity or not. It's a nice tension. This book will please the fantasy reader as well as those who love a good mystery. It's a worthy read.

Summary: Down the rabbit hole into London Underground
Review: Alice meets the Wizard of Oz - and you'll never want to leave the underground. 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. (an idea that I am sure JK Rowling got from Neil...) 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. This was one of the best books I have read in ages. I could not put it down and began to re-read it the moment I finished! Neil Gaiman not only has a fantastic imagination, he also has a great sense of humor and we are just so lucky that he has decided to share them and his amazing talent with us. I can't wait to read Stardust! If you read one book this year - read this one. A magical, mysterious romp in a world you can only hope really exists. My next vacation is going to be to London Underground. Pick this book up and I promise you will not want to put it down.

Summary: The London You Will Never See
Review: Mr. Gaiman writes in a genre all his own (though I did read a story about the Rat King and his son saving the world from the Pied Piper, which is sort of along the lines Mr. Gaiman writes). This is a story of London underground and the lost people who live there. The interesting part is that the hero is some ordinary bloke, who does not act like a hero, or trys to be a hero, but the essence of heroism is that he is there and is true to his people.

Summary: Dark fantasy at highest level
Review: Neverwhere is a dark fantasy at its highest level. Richard Mayhew ceases to exist in the London that we know and finds himself in the dark, dangerous, magical London Below. Here, he finds creatures and people and places and begins a quest which will lead him to face dangers everywhere. An adult, dark fantasy which reads from page to page at superb speed. A great work from Neil Gaiman
