A review by kit_fox
Neverwhere by Mike Carey
4.0
Now this one, I liked.
I consider myself lucky that I've usually been able to accept what Carey says in his introduction - that adaptations take on a life of their own as a tale shifts between media, like variations on a theme. And while some work better than others, there is always going to be disappointment if you go into something expecting "the film of the book" (or indeed, "the book of the film!") rather than judging each in its own right and its own medium.
Although Islington had anime hair in this one, which made me giggle.
