Neverwhere

meagan_khatthaname shared a tip "There's a whole other world below for those who fall through the cracks... Very creative story with magic doors and things forgotten."

veronica_em shared a tip "My favorite Neil Gaiman novel so far! Dark humor had me smirking on every page. I really liked how believable the fantasy elements were - that this world really could exist under the streets."

madmessmango shared a tip "This one (as are all Neil Gaiman works) is woven from dreams and stardust. Underground society with a traveling market filled with fae and countless other fantastical beings, including a mushroom cult and a certain fabulously-jacketed Marquis 😍"

marissa_kramp shared a tip "My favourite Neil Gaiman book- filled with dry humour and characters that will grab your heart and not let go. Incredibly well written with a dash of classic Neil Gaiman charm"

anne_northrop shared a tip "i have reread this book multiple times. it's the perfection of magical realism. reminds me of dianna wynne jones with a darker edge. the audiobook read by the author is especially good."

andrew_moffitt shared a tip "This was the first of Neil Gaiman's books that I read. It was an incredible joy to read. Characters were dynamic and fully-realized, and the story was truly captivating. Sometimes humorous, sometimes unsettling, this is a must-read for fans of urban fantasy."

natalie_schmidt shared a tip "I haven’t read fantasy for years (my current top three genres are mystery, memoir, and leadership/personal growth) and this was a complete page-turner for me. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next!"

addie_anderson_6277 shared a tip "I got my Dad into reading again with this book. It's that good. In fact, I should reread it myself. My favorite Neil Gaiman novel excepting Sandman."

j_dizzle shared a tip "I will be honest, the first time I tried reading this story managed to captivate me for a couple of chapters, but after that I got bored. I didn't really care for the main character all that much. I dropped it, but keep reading positive reviews. A finally pick it back up and pushed through the part I found uninteresting. The world building was done excellently. I am glad I went back. The antagonists were awesome as well. Not a perfect story but a good read!"

auriana_aurea shared a tip "I love that this is also a deep dive into London's streets. Neil Gaiman has a way with words that ensure that you will never want to put this book down."

robin_george shared a tip "One of my first exposures to Neil Gaiman. A beautiful world with a believable protagonist. This led me to read pretty much everything by Neil."

jonathan_farley_6094 shared a tip "Neil Gaiman is easily one of my favorite authors. This book is what got me started. His I ique way of storytelling and character development is awesome. He never rushes and has a tendency to let the story flow always towards a main plot but, not always necessarily in a straight line."

mindy_braasch shared a tip "Gaiman does an amazing job of weaving the world of “London Below.” I love the character development of the main character as well."

nemo_fay shared a tip "The book thief. I have over 20 copies in multiple languages, unfortunately I am not bilingual. This was 2018 I’ve added some and moved them to a glass bookcase since then."

nemo_fay shared a tip "I also really enjoyed Miss Peregrine’s home for peculiar children. It’s a young adult book and the beginning was hard to get through but it has some awesome quotes. The author sees the world in a fascinating way I can relate to, especially when it comes to forgotten places and creating stories around them. The movie was absolutely terrible, one of the worst book to movie adaptations I’ve ever come across, it made the entire story a joke and there was none of those intense emotions."

marco_gooding shared a tip "This book was the last one I read from beginning to end. It was everything I didn't know I was looking for and was so grateful to find. I loved all the characters the good, the bad and the in between. The mythology from the universe in this book from a secret shadow dimension that's right in front of our third eye if we dare to look and the fascinating characters that have either some goodness in them and the ones who are morally ambiguous jump off the page with life as much as the rotten 'bad' characters who's darkness is still as much a part of themselves as their skin but true to form Mr. Gaiman seemingly effortlessly makes us aware that most people are multifaceted and displays this in every moment, movement where one can't help but be invested in the whole beautiful experience. It was so good I read every version of Neverwhere such as the tv mini series on BBC, the Comic mini series, and each shows a new layer of the novel I wasn't aware of. I can't recommend aa praise this gift of a book enough🎁💝☺"
