Neverwhere
Neverwhere | Ne?l Ga?man
Richard Mayhew is a young man with a good heart and an ordinarylife, which is changed forever when he stops to help a girl he finds bleeding on a London sidewalk. His small act of kindness propels him into a world he never dreamed existed. There are people who fall through the cracks, and Richard has become one of them. And he must learn to survive in this city of shadows and darkness, monsters and saints, murderers and angels, if he is ever to return to the London that he knew. (fuente: BiblioEteca.com)

Welp, I came in 8 books under my goal for 2021, which is a great metaphor for the year: started out semi-hopeful but ended up disappointed. I‘ve already set my 2022 goal, so here we go again!

I loved this book. I found the idea of an underground London fascinating. One night Richard stumbles upon a bleeding girl, who he helps and in turn becomes invisible to London above and is thrust into an adventure in London below 🗝

It‘s been a Neil Gaiman kind of day. Finished Neverwhere audiobook—I could listen to Gaiman read anything.

Then I also finally got around to reading 4 of Gaiman‘s children‘s books. Chu‘s Day is my fave out of the 4.

KathyWheeler My granddaughter loves the beach, so I got her Chu‘s Day at the Beach as her first Gaiman book. 😊 5y

I‘ll admit it- I bailed the first time through. But I finally read through the whole thing, and it was cute. It ended just the way it should, it had new creative fantasy storylines I‘d never read before, and the narrator (I listened to it on audible the 2nd time round) was superb. Give it a read (or a listen).

I‘ve been kind of MIA from here for a while and I actually lost the majority of my book collection in Hurricane Florence (either to water damage or to mold). This is some of my small current collection. Some were ones I took with me when I evacuated and some are ones I‘ve been gifted or bought at the library book sale more recently. #stupidhurricane

BookishMarginalia Big hug — we lived through #HurricaneMaria 6y
Vexingcircumstance @BookishMarginalia it was annoying because our house didn‘t take that much damage but with the water that Did come in the two small holes in the roof and the power out for a week and us not able to get home for over three weeks due to flooded roads mold overtook the house and infested everything. We were able to clean most (but not all) of our movie collection and could wash anything cloth but everything else had to be trashed. :/ 6y
Vexingcircumstance @BookishMarginalia luckily I had taken at least some of my books with me when we evacuated. I took the hard or impossible to replace ones and I took most of my daughters books. 6y

BookishMarginalia That just sucks. 😕 We we‘re without power for 4 months but we were lucky; we didn‘t lose anything but a few trees and a section of gate. 6y
Vexingcircumstance @BookishMarginalia some people here were without power longer than we were. We lived downtown. So our power was among the first to come back (which I only knew from friends checking on my house for me). But since we were stuck out of town it didn‘t help much. Looters stole most of the electronics and my husband‘s antique guns and some other random stuff and trashed the place. And the mold took over the rest. 6y

This was my second time reading this book but i thought it would be a perfect halloween read and i was spot on.

I love the characters and the settings and i love how the plot twists and turns.

This was the book that made me realise that Neil Gaiman is one of my top favourite authors

First #makemereadit book for August has been read! Gaiman's prose is always top notch, but you can tell this was his first solo novel. It had a bit too many tropes like mcguffins and backtracking, and the ending wrapped up a bit too neatly for me.

This was also a novelisation of a BBC series so he was most likely constrained by that as well with the story. Still a seminal piece of urban fantasy! 🌟 🌟 🌟.5! Now on to #theshining!

cherinium I'm listening to this one on audiobook right now and have to admit that I'm having a tough time getting into it. I was wondering earlier if it's time to bail or switch formats or if I should just stick with it. 6y
plaidchuck @cherinium ohh I listened to some of it on audiobook and quite enjoyed Gaiman's narration. The last half of the story does pick up in my opinion. I will say that despite being about 370 pages it is still a quick read. 6y

I'm in love! This book is now, hands down, my second favorite of the year. It was so dark, so funny and completely engaging. I'm sure everyone in my house even knows how much I loved this book because I haven't shut up about it in days. I've already recommended it to people, even said they could borrow it, because I needed to share my joy. If you even sort of like fantasy and haven't read this yet, you NEED to read it!

On paper, I should love Neil Gaiman. My perfect genre, Stardust is one of my favourite movies and I've tried so many of his books now. Although I never actively dislike his writing, I never have that "can't put it down" moment I crave. "Neverwhere" is very reminiscent of "Hitchhiker's Guide" but with lots of heavy handed, London placename play on words forced in. I think I have to face facts that Neil Gaiman and I don't have a future!

BookaholicNatty Beautiful picture!!!!! We were on vacation last week at the beach and I miss it so much!!!! I wish I was where you are today!!! ❤️ 6y

Zelma I have a similar relationship with Gaiman. I think he‘s a fabulous human being but his novels just don‘t quite work for me. I either dislike them or feel lukewarm. After 4 books and 2 graphic novels, I have finally accepted that he isn‘t my thing. 6y

Absolutely loved this dramatised version of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. It was a birthday present from my friend who knows I love audiobooks. I enjoyed every minute of it, even though I don't normally read fantasy/magic realism. Thoroughly recommend if you want to dip your toes into the author's work, but aren't too sure where to start.
