Really entertaining - fun characters. I do wish I knew London better to understand the inside jokes.

I'm so, so sad to say this is the first Neil Gaiman book I didn't care for. The writing is lovely, as it always is, and it was surprisingly funny, in a Douglas Adams kinda way, but I just couldn't bring myself to care about Richard or Door. Croup and Vandermar were fun, though, and I liked Anesthesia. This is one of those books where it feels like we spent the story focusing on the wrong characters. The performance was lovely, though. I love that Gaiman performs it himself, it feels so much more personal!

Saying I enjoyed this book might be an exaggeration, but there were intriguing elements to it, which gripped me. The Velvet Children, for example, and the Marquis. I felt that London Below and its inhabitants were crafted beautifully, but the plot of the novel itself seemed...flat to me. Two dimensional. The ending, however, left me with a goofy grin on my face. I have decided to give this three stars, rather than two, because I felt the characters, their backstories and their relationships were interesting enough to compensate for the plot.

Neverwhere is a typical Neil Gaiman book in that it’s full of whimsy but you don’t want to look to deep into the why. Much like Stardust there really isn’t much explanation for why this alternate world exists within our own. If you can read the book for a bit of fun and not get concerned for the why of it than you will probably enjoy it.
