Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman | Spoiler Free Book Review | Overbooked [CC] 

Im 7 months late to this party but I gotta say I only have 100 pages left and I’m really sad I’ll never read this book for the first time again its a absolute trip. It gives me this whimsical feeling that Harry Potter gave me when I was a kid.

I love Neverwhere so much!! I loved the book when I read it three months ago and I started watching the series with my parents today!

The Graveyard Book and The Ocean at the End of the Lane capture childhood sooooo well and make me cry everytime I read them.

Loved your review. Graveyard Book is so so brilliant. Cheres.

read many yrs ago, my 1st Gaiman, and as a former Londoner I have happy memories of it. If rating Gaiman I go 1st place Ocean At End of Lane 2nd Graveyard Book, who can not like a kids story that starts with the parents getting murdered? (what that says about me we will not go there!) 3rd the audio of Anansi Boys narrated/performed by Lenny Henry. The books I didn't like is longer the comic-books are about half and half, very much who is the illustrator. in short when good he can be very good, but when not he can put the VERY in not! (probably 'over-loved' and over-rated)

I remember watching Neverwhere on Tv every (Friday? It was a long time ago.😉) And it just connected to me so much as somebody who loves the weird, the unusual, the creepy. When i read the book years later, i was like," Wow! This is my new all time favourite Novel!" Also, i found a considerably odd parrallel with Richard and myself. He finds a Lucky Troll on the street and puts it on his work desk, and later on sees one, it becoming the only beacon of his old existance. I used to collect those lovely little folk ( and still have several 😂👍) so to me, they form a Nostalgia of my Childhood. Anyway...enough of that! Love the Book and Show. Got it on dvd. Great stuff allround from this end. 🥳👍

Richard and Door give me Neo and Trinity vibes. But less connected to each other. I just started reading it for the first time and was looking for a review to help me decide if I want to continue.

I loved Neverehere so much, it is my favourite of Gaiman's books. And I looked everywhere for something similar and I didn't find anything. Do you know any other books?

Love this book, and the TV series is still good... also it can be watched on youtube.

ahahha love the way you talk about books

There is something fantastic about childhood tv shows that stole your imagination. If only all shows got books or books shows.

I was thinking of the city we became while you described all the London references. I still never really cared about this one unfortunately. I almost dnfd it like 3 times before finally finishing. I just never got the point and wasn’t confused in a way that interested me. Also I am lame and adventure for adventure sake isn’t really my favorite thing in books already

I read reviews for Gaiman’s works every time someone recommends them and think, eh? I suspect he’s not the author for me, but clearly the author for lots of folks!

gaiman doesn't do it for me 🥺

Mind the gap.
