NEVERWHEREby NEIL GAIMAN
Neil Gaiman is a really great author. A lot of people already know that. His works are something to be reckoned with. His novels are amazing. His imagination intense and definitely a force to be reckoned with. And even as he's starting out, it's obvious that Gaiman has the power to hook you in his stories and never let go. Neverwhere is probably the best book he has ever written.
The story is about Richard Mayhew, a goodhearted man with a dull life. His life eventually changes one night, when he and his fiancee were walking to Ma Maison for a dinner meeting. Richard spots a bleeding girl on the sidewalk, and without hesitation, carries her back home so she could be safe.
Neverwhere's plot twists and turns. Surprises abound. There is never a dull moment in Neverwhere, since it really has some suspenseful parts, humorous situations and a modernized Alice in Wonderland feel. London Below is as real and alive as London Above (or simply London). At times, London Below seems to be a lot more realistic. And without a doubt, it's a lot more exciting than London.
A diverse set of characters are met in Neverwhere. From the confused-but-goes-with-the-flow Richard Mayhew to the deceiving Angel Islington to the somewhat cocky but valuable Marquis De Carabas, Neverwhere floods you with delight. And when you reach the end, you'd be desperate to find out what happens to Richard Mayhew, and you'd get a strong desire to read the book again.
It's by far one of the best books I have ever read.
