Summary: Neverwhere
Review: Neverwhere was awsome! I was bored and my friend told me to read this book. It was awsome! It was a darker version of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Richard has to Arthur Dent's brother, they're basically the same person. The Marquis was great. He dies and then comes back to life like dying happens everyday, and Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar are the defintion of evil and gross (they eat dead animals). Door is just there. She's kind of boring. The end is predictable but awsome just the same. Long live Neil Gaimen

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: What a bloody marvelous novel!
Review: I had the pleasant encounter with Neil Gaiman himself at the DreamHaven bookstore in Minneapolis, MN. As well a large number of people turning out to see him in person. Before seeing him in person, I've read his first major novel, "Neverwhere". Wow, it's truly the best modern fairy tale novel for adults since "Alice in Wonderland"! London came really alive to me, the above world never knew about life hidden in the under world. Literally I mean way under the above world. The characters are so fascinated and I love those two crazy killers acting like some english nobles with perverse sense of humors. Neil Gaiman is very inventive and creative with the story and based on his past stories he'd written for the comic book industry, this man is destined for greatness. I've sweared that Neil Gaiman is the modern William Shakespeare! No one have ever write the stories as well and marvelous as Gaiman...not even since James Joyce and William Shakespeare. I told Neil this and he was rather flabbergasted but it's the truth! Read the novel, then read "Stardust", then read every story Neil has ever written and you'll know that we may have a William Shakespeare for the 21st century! Oh, by the way..."mind the gap!"

Summary: One of the best books I've read in the past 3 years!
Review: This book takes you through the highly imaginitive world that exist under the streets of London. A fantastic, wonderful tale of a man who finds within himself the strength to overcome the obstacles that are ahead of him. His journey of self-descovery is one that everyone can relate to and leaves one with a sense of wonder. It is, without a doubt, one of Neil Gaiman's best books.

Summary: A Must Read
Review: This was one of the best books I have ever read! I found myself not only reading on the train (which is usually what when I get all my reading done), but also at lunch, at home, I even missed 2 dinners! Gaiman connects you with the characters in this book, you feel as if you're on their journey with them. A modern day Alice in Wonderland is the best way to describe it, full of weird and bizarre characters. I deeply regreted the ending of the book!

Summary: Gaiman evokes great imagery
Review: Gaiman's skillful use of the language evokes great descriptions of characters and scenery. He created unique and interesting characters and wove colorful dialogue for each of them. I hope to see future novels by Gaiman with this underground world and characters in them.

Summary: More delightful work from Gaiman...
Review: As a recent Gaiman fan, this is my second experience of his work. Further pleasure for me.No, the premise is not new but the treatment certainly is unique, original. I read it straight through, reluctant to part with story and characters for even a moment. Perhaps it is the ease with which Gaiman writes that is misleading, but there is a complexity of both character and story that lingers long after the book is closed. I loved the characters of this underworld, found them all exquisitely drawn, including Richard Mayhew,our "hero". There is something very refreshing in both style and content. I LOVE the mixture of humour, darkness, light, fantasy, wonder, human foibles, superb flights of imagination, and the very mundane and ordinary. A very heartfelt thanks to the author. I love to be entertained and delighted this way. Write more soon!

Summary: Fresh and vivid
Review: Neverwhere floored me. For a long time, any fantasy novel just couldn't keep my attention like they did when I was younger. But Neverwhere grabbed my attention from the beginning. The vivid descriptions and fascinating people kept me turning the pages to the end. Even a year after reading the book, I still fondly look back onto it.It is a true piece of art.

Summary: Popcorn for the mind.
Review: I "liked" this book in the same way I "like" popcorn. It provided an immediate rush of flavor and texture without actually satisfying my deeper hunger. It reads like a screenplay (which is not surprising, since it was originally developed as a TV series) and some of the author's more obvious "let's see how our Sympathetic Male Character is affected by his Flaw" work irritated me greatly. I would have enjoyed this much more if Mr. Gaiman had created it in the medium he is most obviously suited for -- graphic novels.
