Rating: Summary: The best book that I have read in years Review: This book is my favorite book. I have read it FOUR times now and I never get tired about reading about Richard and Door. I highly recomend it for anyone who is interested in sci-fi/fantasy.
Rating: Summary: One hell of a page turner!!! Review: I have never read a book that had me saying, "Five more pages and I'll put it down" and then end up reading four more chapters. The characters are just perfect. Its an excellent book and its better when you read it more than once. I personally read it 3 times!
Rating: Summary: Really good, then the ending Review: This book was incredible. It was really well written and I was enjoying it throughly, but then I reached the ending. I felt that the ending was really stupid, as if it had been written by another author. Still, check it out and make up your own climax.
Rating: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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.
