i’m going to state the obvious here, this really is a fantasy book so i have to admit that i was a bit confused at times
however saying that, i really liked this book! i found London Below intriguing and quite fascinating, i like how they used words slightly different to ‘normal’ and all the characters were unique and interesting (even mr croup and mr vandemar)
overall i really enjoyed this and not something i’d usually read but thanks to my book club, i did

Didn't feel right after everything that came to light about Gaiman
Neverwhere is the perfect fantasy. It was so unlike anything that I had ever read before, and was the first audiobook I listened to that was read by Neil Gaiman. The story takes place in London Below, and is about those who have "fallen through the cracks," so to speak. Neverwhere was one of the first novels I read where the villains actually scared me a little. It surprised me, and was one of the only books that had me falling in love with a secondary character (and on top of that, he was a Marquis!) which I believe to be a feat in itself. Neverwhere is unique, imaginative, and gritty. This is another of those I would recommend listening to the full cast audio as it was beyond brilliant. I just realized that I have read this book 3 times, once in print & twice in different audio formats. If that isn't saying something...

I had a hard time getting in to this book. I really wanted to like it. I thought the plot sounded fun. The characters seemed good. I don't know... It was just difficult for me to get going on it. I've had that problem before with this author.
Reads like an adult Alice in Wonderland. There's this nonsense to the world that smashes into your face. You're as lost as Richard Mayhew despite the fact that the world he is in is only a reflection of London. Why does London, a city with 8 million, feel so foreign when viewed through a different perspective?
Anyway, great story, great characters, great humor, looking forward to more Neil Gaiman novels.
