I'm always looking to fill the Pratchett shaped hole in my reading, but have avoided Gaiman, as I DNF'd Ocean at the end of the lane, which he has said is his favourite of his works, and he seemed way too dark for me (have you met Coraline?). To the darkness, I did glance over some of the scenes with ... Mr C and Mr V, the names escape me ... the scary version of Pratchett's Mr Tulip and Mr Pin (who were scary enough for me). I was quite distressed by the
Gaiman is a gifted storyteller, and I really enjoyed his writing even though I didn't like the dark/gross/awful/scary/violent parts. I like Riddel has a distinct style that suits Gaiman. If you buy a copy of Neverwhere, make sure it's this one.Â

This book takes us to a wonderful universe, full of fun and interesting characters.Â
The reader only has to follow the story and let it evolve through the pages.Â
As often we find some gory scenes and details, but it makes sense and nothing is gratuitious.Â
I would have appreciated a slighty faster rythm, but the tension is nice. Also, even if I really enjoyed the book, I found that the overall story and plot could have been a bit deeper to make it perfect.Â
The best part of this novel is the world building and the little details, and of course the way the story is told.Â
So far, I’ve never been wrong picking a Gaiman’s book.Â
