... Oh yeah, kid, that's why you keep a log. And stay on top of it! (That was me yelling at myself.) Back to current list: Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. Why: I like Gaiman, and my husband passed it along. Kind of Alice in Wonderland for grown ups where the Alice character is a grown man living ...

... Anansi Boys. And come to think of it, of the ones I like, Stardust is the only one I didn't listen to. I tried reading Neverwhere last year and put it down after a couple of pages, but I'm quite enjoying it being read to me. And Lenny Henry reading Anansi Boys was great.

... be read to sleep but I ended up listening for several hours. Now I'm reading Dragonhaven by McKinley and listening to Neverwhere.

... I read during that time I now have terrible memories of (whoa, bad grammar!). Even though I know in my brain that Neverwhere was a great book, I can't think of it without feeling ill...

Neil Gaiman. I'm a big Neverwhere fan, and he has many other goods ones like Stardust and the Sandman graphic novel series. Urban fantasy: Jim Butcher's Dresden Files are great fun.

... but when he's on form, his books are very funny, definitely warped and kind of moving. I think friends gave our son Neverwhere when he was around 12 and we all very much enjoyed it, as well as the Sandman suite of comics, which really are his true medium. He's very visual (Neverwhere ...

I completely forgot Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. Wonderful! Now I am very curious about the tv-series too. I loved it. I read Neverwhere more than a month ago, I just forgot to post about it. After Sorcery and Cecelia I finished: - Jingo! - Terry Pratchett - Back to the ...

Oh ja. Ik heb de afgelopen tijd weer aardig wat gelezen. de teller staat nu op 46 boeken. Neverwhere van Neil Gaiman voor de ff-leesclub. Eigenlijk zit mijn fantasycategorie al "vol". Ook al heb ik Drakenhoeder van Robin Hobb nog niet in huis en nog ...

5/10/2009 - 16/10/2009 Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman Wow, that guy certainly has one hell of an imagination! I'll never look at London in quite the same way again. Total books read to date = 9/50

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman

I have a lot of favourites..some classics like The Hobbit..and some more modern novels like Stardust and Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. I'm also a huge fan of the newer (and still active) saga "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R.R. Martin. it's simply amazing, and very enthralling if you ask ...

... I'd like to talk about the book itself, but I am afraid I might inadvertently spoil things, so I will just move on. Neverwhere was enjoyable. I felt like expanding my horizons so this book was someone else's choice and I guess I lucked out. I'm not running out to pick up more works by G ...

... book for years. They've read them all. I, too, enjoyed it and plan to try one of his "adult" books next year -- probably Neverwhere because the son who lives in the same town we do can lend it to me. I had almost the same reaction to Graveyard as you did. :-)

... by Bill Willingham is a wonderful example). As of late my favourite Fantasy books are definitely stand alone ones (Neverwhere), or series that seem to be going somewhere - but in their own unique way (Percy Jackson and the Olympians). Check out my actual blog at http://wisdomofbookmon ...

... The "cereal convention" was both funny and creepy. Some of the characters from the Sandman appear in other works such as Neverwhere, I believe. Steph, you recommended these stories for everyone. I would caution that overall, the Sandman series has some very adult content involving a ...

... the premise excellent, if the execution imperfect. But I liked it enough to buy several other of his books, including Neverwhere and Anansi Boys; both yet to be read. I'm half way through Mieville's The Scar. There's something fascinating about his Bas Lag books, even if I find his ...

... visit with you guys without the bother of travelling :) I'm happy coz I'm really enjoying listening to Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere on my way to & from work, so the long bumper to bumper trip is something to look forward to now instead of something to dread :) I was only going to be listening ...

... decent, but not great. I'm just jumping in on Gaiman because I am currently reading all the Sandmans and I just finished Neverwhere, as well.

... on LT likes American Gods, but personally, it's one of my favourites and I'd go with that, particularly if you enjoyed Neverwhere. On the other hand, a lot more people loved Anansi Boys... If you like graphic novels, The Sandman is fantastic too, (although quite up and down and, ...

... murdered, and the graveyard residents raise and protect him. (If you're wondering, the other Gaiman book I've enjoyed is Neverwhere, not Coraline or Stardust. In the Days of the Comet by H.G. Wells--I'm a bit piqued by this one, so I'll think on what I want to say for a later entry.

... the rules. Not a particularly complex storyline, but an original one (even if it did, inevitably, have me thinking of Neverwhere, just from the very nature of the book). There are a couple of clunky feeling moral moments and, at times, Miéville seemed to be channeling Terry Pratchet ...

I'm not a huge fan of Gaiman's American Gods either, but try Neverwhere---out of his novels, I think that one's probably the best, and the one that's gotten him the most attention (outside of the graphic novels that is).

... which one, but the fairy court takes place in Newford Mall. Maybe Lackey was referring to that. Everyone mentions Neverwhere - what about Gaiman's American Gods ? Shadow's not really in an urban environment, but it certainly fits Hieremias definition. I read American Gods about 5 ...

... recommend Mieville's other books (the next is The Scar). I'm not a huge fan of urban fantasy though. Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere was already mentioned, it's pretty good. Charles de Lint is another author to consider. Moonheart is a good starting point. I've really enjoyed some books ...

I second AnnieMod's recommendations on this: Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden series, Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, and China Mieville's The City and the City. I'd add ones by Emma Bull: War for the Oaks and Finder. Good Fairies of New York by Martin Millar wasn't as much my cup ...

I haven't read Neverwhere- I'll have to take a look at it.

... if I categorize them. As for recommendations - I like The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher, Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, Mieville's urban stories (The City and the City for example)... Will you like them? Who knows... Edit: Fixing typos

>151 I bought a copy of that for my son, but he put it down after a few pages... guess I'll go dig it out! Have you read Neverwhere? Am wondering how the two compare.

So, Neverwhere was a lot of fun, and I can see why it has the following it has. I also have a new punny joke I can torture people with. Right now, I am reading a few books. One is Molloy by Mister Beckett (so far so good, and not as difficult as I thought it would be). I am reading The ...

18-The OMAC Project (Countdown to Infinite Crisis) by Greg Rucka 19-Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman 20-A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin

Neil Gaiman is great fun; Neverwhere is my favorite. You might like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and The Graveyard Book by Gaiman, two of the best books in the past year that also are escapist page turners.

... haven't read this yet, it does boast a short blurb from Gaiman - something about she does in this book for Moscow, what his Neverwhere did for London. Rarm, above, has also mentioned her. Brown Girl in the Ring or Skin Folk by Nalo Hopkinson (also mentioned by Rarm above) This is some of ...

I am reading Neverwhere right now. I am half weay through and I keep asking the book, "Why is this not a comic book?" It is quite good.

... I posted the correct one here (assuming it works correctly for me!) for otherss who might want to check it out. I've had Neverwhere on my TBR for years--I think it's time to borrow it from my son and finally read it! Both of my sons have been wanting me to read it and both have it. Luckily ...

For my young adult category: Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. This book was aimed at adults rather than teens, but I think older teenagers would like it, too. It's a very hard book to put down once you start it, so luckily, it's a quick read. It tells the story of an ordinary man who leads a very ...

I am still attempting to read Neverwhere I only say attempting cause wor has me too stressed to read something new. I am starting a reread of the Twilight series.

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. I LOVED it so so so so so very much. Then I discovered there was a series based on it and watched the first episode. I didn't like it very much. The novel "looked" better in my head.

... reading, but I found it enjoyable for the most part. I am now rereading The Black Jewels Trilogy and have started Neverwhere which I am enjoying.

39. Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman rate: **** reminded me of Alice in Wonderland a bit.. began to enjoy after I progressed a bit though.. 40. The Princess and the Hound by Mette Ivie Harrison rate: ***1/2 fairy tale retold of Beauty and the Beast

I can also recommend Gaiman's Neverwhere. It is excellent, if you care to give it a try.

... to not take to Anansi Boys; I can see it not being a grabber for a lot of folks. You might take a look at Gaiman's Neverwhere, set in a fantasy London underground, which is wonderfully creative but also has more of a traditional narrative form.

... le: Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. Nice hardback for a buck. I have still not read Gaiman and now I own 2, the 1st being Neverwhere. Enigma by Robert Harris. Looks like a good thriller! And in the mail today, a giveaway (gotta love those!): The Turnaround by George Pelecanos. I ...

... it not to be entertaining, but this road trip and battle of the gods book just didn't grab me. I much preferred ones like Neverwhere, Anansi Boys, Coraline, Stardust and The Graveyard Book, and his graphic novel Sandman series.

... I finished The Black Jewels Trilogy and I loved it! I couldn't put the books down! Today i think I am going to start Neverwhere.

#53: I originally had slated American Gods on my 'must read' list for this year, but substituted Neverwhere by Gaiman instead. From the sounds of it, a wise decision on my part. I hope your next read is better for you!

... that I think the authors had quite a good time writing it. I have not read much of Neil Gaiman, but I did very much like Neverwhere. It is not as funny, but I thought a better story. The only thing of Pratchett's that I have read (actually tried to read) was Mort and I finally gave up.

Well, I just left London Below in Neverwhere. And I've been to London, the Kingdom of Dreams, and even went to Hell to fight a demon to get my stuff back in The Sandman : Preludes and Nocturnes, the first installment of Gaiman's graphic novel series.

Neverwhere always does the job for me. Neil always makes me feel better. Steve too, with Hearts in Atlantis (especially the first two parts). Also, The Timothy Files or McNally's Dare. I've read each about two or three times already, I think. They're light and amusing enough to keep me ...

Will be starting Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman either tomorrow or Thursday. It's an alternate reality/parallel world.

Yes, I would recommend reading it again. I would also recommend Gaiman's Stardust and Neverwhere if you haven't read them already.

#160: Count me inthe Neverwhere fan club as well, Tui. I read it for the first time this year and thoroughly enjoyed it - I have already put it on my list of memorable reads for the year.

I loved Neverwhere, too. The Marquis de Carabas is my favorite, but then I love fictional cads. If you like short stories at all, I recommend Fragile Things, which is brilliant.

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman is set in an imagined London underground and is quite unusual.

I always liked the title, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon. Also, Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, about an imagined London underground world, and Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessi.

... he's so widely admired, but you might like Graceling by Kristin Cashore or The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, or Neverwhere by Gaiman.

Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book, Neverwhere and Stardust are all good, as is Good Omens, which he wrote with Terry Pratchett.

... longing for another Neil Gaiman book for adults - the YA books have been great, but they just don't quite match Neverwhere, American Gods or Anansie Boys for me. Still, while, I'd agree, it's not up to Gaiman's usual standard (that subtle humour was, for me, mostly missing, ...

I'm with the Gaiman-dislikers. I have Neverwhere - gah, bland writing, not-so-gripping story. Don't know what the fuss is about. Yes, he has an imagination, but I personally don't like his style whatsoever. (I admit to liking the Stardust movie a LOT though). Generally, I'm quite hard on ...

Touchstones have their own mysterious logic. I have not read Neverwhere, but I have read Seven Suspects.

I haven't read Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas, but I have read Neverwhere. what's the deal on the touchstone?

I read Neverwhere and thought it was mediocre, and I thought The Graveyard Book was little better than mediocre, but I think I'll give Gaiman one more try because so many people seem to think he is the bomb.

Glad you liked Neverwhere, alcottacre. It's one of my faves. If I had more time, I'd probably reread it too. :)

#223: Thanks, Rachael. As for Neverwhere, I really liked it and will be re-reading it some time in the future.

Actually, the book Neverwhere is the novelization of the television movie script. You can see how the stage direction is changed to narative while reading. It's a less heavy, more fun read than American Gods. I also really liked Stardust, it's more like a traditional fantasy than his other ...

... wanting to take a break from reading that many books by one author all in a row. It would tire me out. But I'd recommend Neverwhere whenever you have a chance.

#71 Whisper, I love them all, but the one that seems to be most universally popular is Neverwhere - or if you like YA, The Graveyard Book deservedly won the Newbury prize this year...

I just finished Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. It was really good. I think I had been avoiding it because I felt it was a "nerdy" book. However, I am also pretty nerdy, so it was a perfect fit.

Welcome to the group. Neverwhere is a great book - I actually feel jealous that you've got it still to read. If you like Neil Gaiman, go for American Gods next. Enjoy.

... Nine Princes in Amber. Another good (and very different) unconventional setting is the London Underground imagined in Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.

... Book got the Newberry. So far it's great, and the award seems well-deserved. He's one of my favorite authors - Neverwhere in particular.

>147 Carolyn, Read Neverwhere! It was the first Gaiman I read, and I really liked it. Definitely whet my appetite for more. Lisa

... I have to get the book--it will be my first Neil Gaiman--unless I break down and read the one my son gave me 5 years ago--Neverwhere--before I get this one.

... Start with Small Wonder or High Tide in Tucson. The way I got into Neil Gaiman fiction was through his novel Neverwhere which had been recommended to me by my husband. Now I get to recommend it to you! :)

No, I haven't read Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman but it is on my list of books to read... someday!! Errr... well, so far, I've read...... 3 paranormal books.. It looks like I'm going to have to pick up the pace if I want to complete this challenge! I finished Bitten by Kelley Armstrong ...

#54: Linda, I have Neverwhere home from the library to read - it would be interesting to compare notes. The only Gaiman I have read to this point is The Graveyard Book.

ok then, Stardust will be followedd by Neverwhere. I see Gaimain's books are mentioned a lot on LT. I never heard of him before joining this group, so I'm anxious to start.

#48/52 yep, read the lot! I like Neverwhere better, but Stardust is also very enjoyable - less dark than Neverwhere - although a _little_ bit more somber than the film (I'm thinking of the ending here).

>48: Yes. I enjoyed it, though not quite as much as Neverwhere.

#72: I have Neverwhere home from the library to read, Prop, so it will be interesting to see how I feel about it in comparison to your thoughts on it. I read Double Indemnity last year and really like it. Completely agree - it is classic. Thanks once again for the great reviews!

... you. I don't know what took me so long to read Lovecraft (last year was the first time), but I will be looking for more. Neverwhere was a fantasy treat.

I have read and really enjoyed American Gods, I keep meaning to grab Neverwhere and Anansi Boys, after reading this thread I may have to see if I can get them soon (I am at the library computer so all I would have to do is walk up stairs). Thanks for an idea of where to go next.

Jack of Shadows by Roger Zelazny and Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman are both topnotch and re-readable.

... pretty much everything he's written (with the exception of one or two stories in Fragile Things, which I only liked ;) Neverwhere and American Gods currently the top of my list, but that may all change yet! I also enjoyed Anansi Boys SqueakyChu - but you may have guessed that!

Neverwhere -- My first Neil Gaiman, but most certainly not my last. I found the dark humor in this fantasy novel most enjoyable. I thought it was a bit long in places, but generally quite good.

#6-- Neverwhere -- A nice foray into fantasy. The dark humor was wonderful. A bit longer than necessary in my opinion, but still quite enjoyable. Off to the next book.....

I too concur on Neil Gaiman, he's wonderful! I liked Neverwhere alright, but loved American Gods and his Sandman graphic novels.

From Bookmooch: Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. This is my first by this author. I've heard such good things about him!

#37 Definitely recommend Neverwhere MusicMom41! As with pretty much all Neil Gaiman's stuff, it's definitely fantasy rather than SciFi. Don't be fooled by Terry Pratchett's enormous back catalogue - there's all sorts of random stuff by Neil Gaiman all over the place - every time I think ...

Ooh! Can I recommend a book, medievalmama? I read your tag cloud, and the first book that popped into my mind was Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. I didn't think I liked fantasy until my husband convinced me to read this book. It turned me on to some of Neil Gaiman's other works as well.

I love Neverwhere, and it was my first introduction to Neil Gaiman, but I have to chime in with some American Gods love. I actually really want to reread it this year. I'm a huge fan of Norse mythology and world religions, so it was endlessly fascinating for me. Speaking of Gaiman, I just ...

OK, I have ordered Neverwhere and taken American Gods off the list for this year. Thanks to you both!

... O Patroness, did I add a zero? Goodness, what boredom and extreme fatigue will do to a man's memory. Gosh. Silly me. Neverwhere gets my vote for a Gaiman read. It was another really, really good idea, and as a story, a lot more fun to read than American Gods. >139 fantasia, I guess ...

... Tad. Thanks for the input on Gaiman - I think I will pass by American Gods, no matter how long it is, and try and find Neverwhere.

Anything by Neil Gaiman. He's an excellent reader. I was enthralled by Neverwhere.

I'm about half way through my first ever reading of a Neil Gaiman book, Neverwhere. Plus, I bought Stardust and Mirrormask on DVD last weekend. I'm besotted by Gaiman's work! Hopefully I'll get America America soon, since I'm next on the list at the public library!

So far I'd have to say my favourite book I've read this year is Neverwhere, although that might be because I finished it yesterday and it's still fresh in my mind. It made me laugh out loud on public transport :-)

#111: GillyP Welcome to LT! Neverwhere is one of my favorite books. I hope you're enjoying it! =)

judylou, I think Neverwhere the book and Neverwhere the series sort of happened at the same time (sort of like what happened with 2001: A Space Odyssey and the movie. . .). There is little different between the two.

merry10, I am Legend was a good read. You should add it to your list! Kiwidoc, Yes, I agree. I have Neverwhere to read and am looking forward to it - especially after watching a dvd of the series made by the BBC. It was a pretty ordinary production, but still a great story.

Thank you both for the suggestions. I really like the blurb for Neverwhere, so that might have to be my next buy.

I have Neverwhere and Anansi Boys TBR, and that is because I bought them immediately after finishing American Gods which I adored. I expected to dislike it because of the hype, but I just thought it was a blast!

I'd suggest Neverwhere. I've read quite a few of them, but this is the one I always come back to as my favorite, and the best overall taste of the kind of ideas he likes to play with.

... Gaiman's other books like American gods and Anansi boys, and this is a positive evaluation. I think this is, along with Neverwhere, one of his best books. Not that the more complex ones are bad either.

... MsSolo, the smooth bad guys are the best. My vote would have to go to Mister Croup and Mister Vandemar from Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. They're well-spoken, unemotional and have some of the best lines in the book. My favorite: "You can't make an omelet without killing a few people."

I second Neil Gaiman, I think he did a wonderful job with Coraline and I've just heard a preview of Neverwhere, but that sounds pretty good too. I really enjoy listening to Ray Bradbury read The Martian Chronicles, but that could be as much for nostalgia as for artistic merit. Right now ...

#116 How was Neverwhere? I'm on a Gaiman run right now, but I haven't read that yet.

12) Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman What a good book! Great storyline and loveable characters, what more could you ask for? Robert stumbles upon a London hidden from most people; London Below. Filled with monsters, mysteries and weird creatures, this is not a place for the unprepard ones.

I just finished Neverwhere and will now start reading The Time Traveller's Wife.

I just started reading Neverwhere, after finishing High Fidelity.

I started Un Lun Dun by China Mieville. I was really excited, thinking it would be very Neverwhere-ish, but after the first six or so chapters I was bored. The story was still stuck in the "kids lost in a strange land and no one will give them any answers" phase, and it frankly sounded a bit ...

5. Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman (from the Gaiman bibliography list) A good book all around, but not exactly as good as I expected from Neil. I would have liked to have liked the characters more. But fantasy for me is nearly always good, and I did enjoy it - I like the idea that there's a ...

I'm reading Foreigner and Goblet of Fire and also listening to Neverwhere on the pod. Neil Gaiman's reading is fantastic. I think it's better than his writing. (Interesting given I just saw Chris Moore talking about how he doesn't read. I love his writing!)

--> 4 The book that got me hooked on Neil Gaiman was Neverwhere, first recommended to me by my husband. I'm not usually a fantasy reader, but loved the plot of this book and Gaiman's dry sense of humor. I've been a fan of this author ever since (and especially since I had the good ...

Neverwhere? It sounds familiar, if not.

#497 - I'm not sure that I'd call the Neverwhere miniseries horrible, but I wouldn't exactly call it good, either. I've mostly forgotten it now, so I guess it didn't veer too much to one side or the other. Either way, the book was definitely better. (The Marquis de Carabas looked ex ...

Since you do like Neil Gaiman's books, read Neverwhere. It's a very cute story. My husband is the one who originally recommended it to me. I'm sure you'll like it as well. Sometimes the touchstones are wonky and don't work. Next time you come back, they'll be okay. I'm not exactly ...

I don't know what you thought of American Gods, but I thought Neverwhere was a very good urban fantasy.

This weekend I finished Neverwhere. It was good, but I think I was expecting more from all the good reviews it received. I'm now reading Slaughterhouse-Five and Interpreter of Maladies.

Ended this month reading Truesight, The Seer, and Neverwhere.

22. Un Lun Dun by China Miéville A poor man's Neverwhere. I'll admit that I stopped reading after 115 pages. I read several glowing reviews of this, saying it was going to rescue us in this, the time of no-more-harry-potter. And lookee! It has female protagonists! But no. A typical ...

Thanks. I have read the comic book version of Neverwhere, and liked it. It don't really think it gives much a feel for aboveground London - but perhaps I should try to get Underground on my next visit...:-)

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman is a fantasy set in London and in its underground. This was recommended to me on another group a while ago. I did a tagmash in search (London, fiction) and this was the first book that came up that I recognized. Another book of the same ilk is: Dark cities ...

Hi, I haven't read Rob Thurman nor Jim Butcher but I enjoyed a lot Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere and I've never seen the subway in the same way since then. Other one would be American Gods, also by Neil Gaiman. Well, I guess it's pretty clear that he's one of my favourite writers :)

I'm in the "meh" camp, and will probably rethink my position when I've read some of his short stories or comics. I liked Neverwhere, loved Good Omens, and was not very fond of American Gods. I'd really like to read the Sandman series, though.

32. Girl with a Pearl Earring, Chevalier. What a pleasant surprise. 33. Neverwhere, Gaiman. Very strange-loved it! 34. Lean Mean Thirteen, Evanovich. I love Stephanie Plum and the crew!

... read. I point people towards his short story collections, Angels and Visitations and Smoke and Mirrors, then Stardust, Neverwhere and only then American Gods. It's a progression that has seemed to work.

I am on the "yay" side. I like Gaiman's tone and I like what he does with myths and modern ideas. I sort of enjoyed neverwhere and stardust but neither "ticked" good omens is one of my top favorite books, ever. I cannot recommend it high enough - funny, clever, witty, still has a plot ...

American Gods was alright, but for me the book that really interested me in Gaimen was Neverwhere . As for the upcoming movie.. We shall see how it turns out, but the book is good. It is a fairy tale after all, so I hope people aren't expecting LotR or something.

You might like Neil Gaiman's playful use of the London Underground in Neverwhere. "Mind the Gap" takes on a whole new meaning.

I've bought it because I have discovered Neil Gaiman with Stardust & loved it, then read Neverwhere & liked it too....he's become quickly one of my favourite writers.

Could it have been something by Neil Gaiman? What you wrote reminds me of Neverwhere, but that's not three books.

Stardust and Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman are both excellent and would be great choices. If you like short stories I can highly recommend Dreams Underfoot by Charles de Lint, his novels are also excellent. Anne McCaffrey's Pern novels are very enjoyable, and full of dragony goodness. ...

I've read The Sandman books by Neil Gaiman at least 3 times each. And most of his other books too, like Neverwhere and Anansi Boys. I've read Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next books countless times too. I read the first four Harry Potter books at least 3 times each, but the later ...

What I can tell about his writing style based on the work of his I've read (Neverwhere, Coraline, Good Omens, and then the first parts of American Gods) is that while he is very good at coming up with a creative story, and he's good at telling you WHAT happens at a good clip, he's not so ...

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman was a horrible BBC TV production long before it was a book. He was so disappointed by the low budget results that he decided to flesh it out in a novel. (I own both the DVD set and the mass market paperback, as well as the comic book adaptation by Mike Carey).
