 Different, intriguing, 23. August 2008
Had I known there would be so much fantasy in this book, I would not have bought it. I'm glad I did. What a fantastic read (in both senses). The characters, the world and the events are described in such a way, that you can only wonder how Gaiman comes up with them and still make them quite believable. Next time you're in London, you will unconsciously look at a drain, asking yourself if there might be.....
Neverwhere - a one of a kind novel, 18. April 2008
absolutely brillant, Gaiman shows his unique art in this one of a kind novel; where you can be sure of to have never read something like this before; it's a kind of cross-over between Terry Pratchett, Terry Gilliams, Douglas Adams and Peter Pan...but it is no childrens book
 Dull and full of clichés, 30. März 2008
I bought this book because it had such good reviews here on Amazon. But I was quite disappointed. While it achieves to create some atmosphere (thus the second star) it hardly is a captivating story. If I hadn't taken it on a very long plane trip I wouldn't have finished it. The plot is utterly absurd and rather boring (quest after quest), characters are shallow and the style is worthy of a mediocre high shool student. There are a few (although short) enthralling passages and - very rarely - some witty metaphors. But that's it. I wouldn't recommend it, even for a long plane trip there are tons of books that provide better entertainment.
Einfach nur Klasse!, 19. Februar 2008
Ich kann mich der vorstehenden Bewertung nur anschließen. Dieses Buch ist eine Klasse für sich. Die Idee einer Parallelwelt unter unserer und die entsprechende Umsetzung mit viel Phantasie ist bemerkenswert. Die Charaktere - auch oder vor allem die der "Bösen" - sind toll beschrieben. Es macht einfach Spaß dieses Buch zu lesen. Es gibt hierzu übrigens eine BBC-Serie, die das Buch praktisch 1:1 wiedergibt - auch sehr empfehlenswert!
pulp fiction, 14. Februar 2008
Of course, this is not going to win the Nobel prize for literature. But it is VERY original, fun to read and not predictable at all. I really liked the idea of taking London Underground station names literally, so the reader trembles on Night's Bridge, visits the Earl's Court, meets a real hammersmith and makes the acquaintance of those elusive Black Friars, among other exotic creatures.
