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.Gaiman is a wonderful author. He is very descriptive - he makes you feel as though you are there along side the characters and he draws a world so real that it makes you think twice when you see The Gap (no not the clothing store). Pick this book up and I promise you will not want to put it down.

Summary: Suprisingly Good
Review: I have never been a reader of fantasy or science fiction and wasn't sure I would like this book. It was like reading a fairytale. It was really interesting and has inspired me to read more by Gaiman and other writers like him. Give it a try!

Summary: I have a mixed view of this book.
Review: I have never read anything by Neil Gaiman before, but this particular book grabbed my attention. While i did enjoy this book, it still fell just short of what I was expecting. The secondary characters, the Marguis de Carabas, the Lady Door, even the villianous Misters Croup and Vandemar were strongly written, full and realistic. Yet, the story's main character, Richard Mayhew, seemed strangely made of cardboard. His reactions to the happenings around him seem forced and predictable. He seemed to me to be an outsider to the entire novel, not just to the world of London Below. In my opinion, he just didn't fit.

Summary: High excitement, not very fulfilling
Review: Don't get me wrong. Neil Gaiman is one of my absolute favorite authors. I've, at one time or another, read all of his Sandman work and am working on everything else. His work with Dave McKean especially deserves attention. But this is prose, Neil all by himself with no pictures to accompany him along the way. And while the whimsical, strangely boring Richard is the main character, the other characters in "London Below" (a world Richard stumbles into after helping a hurt girl) are the true stars of the book. The marquis de Carabas for example, a man of unending wit and surprise. Door, the young princess who brought Richard his misfortune and adventure. And while I liked the story, I thought it fell short of the kind of plot I know Neil is capable of. The book seems too easily written, too short, with too large a font used simply to fill pages. I was prepared for a world a bit more vast and perplexing. I suppose I could blame my 4-out-of-5 stars on high hopes. But rest assured you'll like the book, if not somewhat of a predictible ending.

Summary: An adult fantasy to be remember
Review: This is an adult version of "alice in wonderland". Wonderfully dark and surreal at times, laced with humor, and stark realism at times, this is one book that is not easily forgotten. I read this book in one sitting, then immediately went back to page one to reread it. This is a book written by an author that is truly developing into one of modern literatures most outstanding talents - not to be missed. Even if you didn't read Gaiman's "Sandman" comic (Which you really should, byt the way) you will immediately be drawn into this. Definitely breaking the mold of the "Funny book writer"!

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: Whoever gave this ONE star obviously does not understand the British art of understatement! This is a brilliant tale of modern fantasy. Great characters, scary monsters, great plot twist (who is the ultimate villain?) Neil Gaiman is a genius, as anyone who's read the Sandman series or Mr. Punch knows.

Summary: If You Haven't Yet, Read It. If You Have, Read It Again
Review: Neverwhere is a brilliant book. It is well-written, rich and full of atmosphere. There is a slightly sardonic edge to it, making for a blend of action, adventure, and fun. Neil Gaimen is truly a master, and has shown his expertise clearly this title. The characters are wonderfully developed, and full of life. It is whimsical, and also slightly dark, a perfect book if you just want to slip away for a while into another world that you wish was your own. If ever a book deserved applause, this is the one. Read it now.

Summary: Check Out the First Sentence
Review: "The night before he went to London, Richard Mayhew was not enjoying himself." The man screws it up on the first sentence. The first sentence. Imagine what the rest of the book is like. A little friendly warning.

Summary: A truly great story
Review: Neverwhere is one of the most entertaining novels I've read in quite some time. Neil Gaiman is, as Stephen King attests, a "treasure house of story" and he is firing on all cylinders here. The characterization is consistently strong and well-developed. The action proceeds at a breakneck pace and the depth of imagination on display is at times astounding. It's a darkly wonderful journey and one that disappoints only in the sense that it has to end. I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes to read.
