The premise for this book really gripped me, but it didn't hold out as a story for me personally. I loved the way that the chapters were written like scenes in an episode of a tv show. The chapters were a manageable length for the most part (barring like 2 or 3 long ones). The story was a captivating tale of a secret and historical world under London for those who fall through the cracks in the London Above. However, at times I found the writing a little clunky and infodump-y, and in places there were too many commas. I still don't completely understand what happened in the book. There was a mystery that they tried to uncover, but then it came to a halt and I just didn't understand what happened. It just ended weird for me, felt a little rushed and unfinished in my opinion.

Flushed Away vibes for sure.

Neil Gaiman is both a wonderful author and narrator. Neverwhere is charming and adventurous and made me somewhat homesick for London and all its eccentricities

I have a troll doll on my nightstand always for this book. Neil Gaimen is brilliant and always knows how to make you FEEL along side his characters. The world of this book is immersive and loveable. It will always hold a place in my top books.
