Summary: Wow
Review: Wonderful, wonderful book. This is the first Neil Gaiman book I've read; in fact, the first I'd ever heard of him was when a local PBS station broadcast the Neverwhere mini-series.

Gaiman does an amazing job of presenting a bizarre, frightening world from the perspective of a rather ordinary fellow who wants little more than to be perfectly ordinary. The book manages to be clever, funny, and eerily unsettling all at once.

If you enjoy science fiction narrated with a clever tongue, you MUST read this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best pieces of fiction ever written.
Review: Gaiman is a master of putting words on paper. From his masterful wit to stark horror found in the truths of our society. His works of fantasy take to you from the past to modern times without skipping a beat. Neverwhere is a perfect example of great fantasy and how it should be done. The characters are real in your mind and you want to join them on their trip throughout (literally) London.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Totally captivating
Review: I have been a science-fiction and fantasy for quite some time but had never heard of Neil Gaiman. I picked this book up simply because of the cover and some of the reviews inside. I can't ever remember being transported to a fantasy realm so completely. I know I'll never ride the NYC subways without peering in every corner and looking in the eyes of the people again. I totally recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I wasn't dissapionted at'all
Review: Having already read The Book Of Dreams, Sandman:The Kindly Ones, and Sandman:The Dolls House I sought after the Novel Neverwhere. I heard lots of good news about it and I was becoming more of a Neil Gaiman fan with every book so I grabed it not only to read...but add to my growing collection:) I heard that some fans would be a bit disappointed but I wasn't at all!! I loved every single part including the ending and loved each and every character!! Neil alo has a good use of his foreshadowing techniques and I was enthrawled to finding that even the most trusting character can be very deciving in the end. I wish everybody to get it and try it out, they will definatley enjoy it. Hopefully as much as I did!!:)

Summary: My favorite book of l998
Review: Having read very few fantasy novels, I am not a proclaimed expert. All I know is that I was soooo intrigued by this novel. The dark underworld of the London subway made for a fas- cinating setting. I loved each character: Richard Mayhew, Door, the Marquis de Carabas, Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar. The good ones were so good they made me ache, the bad ones were so evil they made me shudder. And then there were the ones you were never sure of. I cannot recall a book in which every scene was so vivid in my imagination. I have since bought everything I have been able to find by Gaiman. Just finished Stardust, a wonderful tale of two worlds. Looking forward to Smoke and Mirrors and the Sandman collection.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great read. Witty, fun, and exciting.
Review: You can feel Neil Gaiman's playfulness throughout the story. He has blended his past as a comic book author (and there is NO inference here that Neverwhere is "comic-like") with a nicely polished style that comes together as a story filled with plenty for the mind and all the senses.

Mr. Gaiman's storyline feels like a modern day, twisted and tweaked "North by Northwest" - a Cary Grant of today, an innocent man completely out of his element, thrown literally into the sewers and dragged into events totally out of his control.

Mr. Gaiman has produced a winner, and I can't wait for another to hit the shelves.

Keep writing, Neil.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hallucinatory Spookiness
Review: A real page-turner. Excellent character development. The book is an adventure and an adventure of mind.

Darkly psychedelic and revelatory.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a must read book. currently my favorite book of all time.
Review: I have never before been compelled to write a review of anything but this book was just so amazing it blows my mind! Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar are the coolest villain duo ever, and are impossible to top. The marquis de Carabas I have grown to love also and I didn't want this story to end just so I could read more about his character. Him and Door and Hunter and Richard and... THEY'RE ALL SO COOL! I absolutely can't wait until the movie version (being worked on by Jim Henson Productions) comes out. What else can I say except...YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: VIVID!! It was like I was there.
Review: Neil Gaiman is a master with putting the images into your head. This is a must have book that you wont be able to put down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Who knew subterranean civilizations could be so interesting.
Review: The novel, Neverwhere, instantly became one of my favorite stories. Neverwhere features Richard Mayhew who finds a strange world that exists under London and challenges everything he thought was normal. The author, Neil Gaiman, uses great descriptions to make the novel come to life. Everyone should enjoy it because of its unique story line and humorous twists that kept me interested as I read it. Neil Gaiman writes interesting ideas that really make this book pleasantly different, although I have been told it resembles Dark City. I found Neverwhere to be written excellently.
