Did you know Edit. Trivia Neil Gaiman originally created characters named Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemaar for a children's book he started, but never finished, when he was In the story, they are sitting in a cellar in 14th century England eating a puppy. Gaiman had forgotten about the story, created what he thought were brand new characters for Neverwhere named Croup and Vandemaar, and only remembered their original appearance later when he ran across a copy of the children's story while cleaning out some of his papers.

Quotes Mr. Crazy credits The opening credits are full of surreal, distorted images from London Below. And each episode opens with a different character narrating the events of the previous episode. The end credits uses surreal imagery as a backdrop. User reviews 42 Review. Top review. Too much pressure is being heaped onto film makers these days. The filming of "Neverwhere" on video rather than onto film was an incredibly good decision, if one made by budgetry consideration rather than one of style.

Video gives one a much more intimate feel on a programme as opposed to the distance and unreality in film. So London Below had a much more realistic atmosphere with its filthy corners and occasional bright patch. Exquisite performances by Hywell Bennett and the Marquee - dreadful, appalling, hideous acting by Richardrichard Mayhewdick.

Bad, bad, baaaaaaaaaad casting decision there. Laura Fraser's alien distance giver her performance a truly detached and often unhuman feel, whilst retaining attraction and dare I say cuteness with her huge shimmering eyes. Spikey-2 May 27, Details Edit.

We want to re-enter too. View all 10 comments. I knew about him since from watching the movie Coraline which I loved and turns out it was based on a book written by him and that movie shocked the crap out of me cause it so imaginative and scary at times, I thought it would be a family movie.

Fast forward 8 years later and here I 3. Fast forward 8 years later and here I am finally reading his first solo book. This is one of the rare cases where the blurb of the book only give the basic plot of the first 2 chapter without ruining your reading experience so if you want to know what the basic premise of the book is about you can start there. What fascinates me the most about this book is instead the world that Neil created.

The world of London Below is highly imaginative, it twisted our real world London and makes it into something resembling Hell. Btw, are all Urban Fantasy the same case as this? View all 33 comments.

I originally read it about six years ago when, in an odd twist worthy of London Below, it mysteriously appeared one day on my clunky Kindle 2, without my having ordered it. About a month later it just as mysteriously disappeared again luckily I had finished it just in time.

It was a wise decision on my part. He becomes virtually invisible to normal Londoners, like the homeless whose ranks he physically and symbolically joins. Richard takes a chance, following the path of Door, the young girl he saved, down into London Below, a Byzantine setting with a bewildering assortment of fantastically strange characters.

I smiled at the family of Lord Portico despite their tragic fate , who all have portal-related names and the ability to open doors and locks at will. And I understood better the nature of the capricious Marquis de Carabas: The Marquis de Carabas was not a good man, and he knew himself well enough to be perfectly certain that he was not a brave man.

He had long since decided that the world, Above or Below, was a place that wished to be deceived, and, to this end, he had named himself from a lie in a fairy tale, and created himself — his clothes, his manner, his carriage — as a grand joke.

Districts and areas in London become weird characters or morph into something sinister. Most interesting to me was the real-world counterpart of the Angel Islington: The Angel, Islington is a historic landmark area originally an inn called the Angel Hotel on the corner of Islington High Street and Pentonville Road in Islington, an area of London.

The building is now a bank, but the Angel name has been adopted by an adjacent pub. Along with the full page illustrations at the beginning of most chapters, there are countless sketches that wrap around and through the text. Rats peek around the corners of paragraphs; lovely, vampire-ish Velvets eye you from the tops and sides of the pages. Update 2: I'm upping my rating to 4 stars on reread.

Neil Gaiman's mix of dark fantasy, whimsy and wry humor is really appealing, and the plot worked far better for me the second time around.

Chris Riddell's pencil illustrations wrap their way in and around the text - they're very cool. I liked Richard, the main character, as Everyman, the way London Beneath worked both as a symbol for the homeless and as an amalgamation of different times and places. Full review to come. Update 1: So the joke's on me. Because maybe I read it wrong the first time?

Not four weeks later a publicist emailed me and offered me this new enhanced hardback edition with illustrations by Chris Riddell for review. So I could have saved my two bucks, but all things considered I think I've definitely come out ahead. Initial review: Neil Gaiman's fantasy about a dark, magical London underworld, which exists side by side with our world, left me with mixed feels.

The setting is marvelous and fantastical, and Gaiman does a great job creating it. The plot, though, about an ordinary working man who extends compassion to an injured stranger and, as a result, unexpectedly finds himself up to his neck in this strange and dangerous magical world, was forgettable, at least for me. Still, it's Gaiman, and a lot of people love this book. Interesting personal story: the reason I originally read Neverwhere is because it mysteriously appeared on my Kindle one day, without my having ordered it.

About a month later it just as mysteriously disappeared again. Apparently the ebook is magical too! I received a copy of the illustrated version of this book from the publisher for review. Thank you!! View all 24 comments. They're down there. I had a friend lost a head to one of them. And wow, looks like I'm getting the Gaiman hype. Neverwhere follows the story of Richard Mayhew, a pile of anxiety who becomes immersed in the world of Door, an injured girl whose life he saves.

But I think this is a more universal story than that - Gaiman is trying to impart a message about life being more meaningful when you risk things for happiness. The reader is thrown into his world in the same way the characters are - no infodump, no exposition.

The worldbuilding here is, while sadly no longer as original as it was in , quite entertaining — I especially loved the concept of a hidden market spread by rumor.

And a series of plot reveals and developed characters help the book gain a sense of true authenticity. Maybe my favorite thing about this book is the excellent comedic irony. But honestly? The main strength is the writing. The lack of references within the writing give a sense of timelessness and ambiguity that feels perfect for the story. Maybe there's not much special about the story, but his writing is so much fun and so good. There is also a character whose death, while handled really honourably, is super tropey.

That is…. Overall, though, I found this book supremely entertaining. Blog Goodreads Twitter Youtube View all 15 comments. Jan 11, Fabian rated it really liked it. C'mon, gimme a break.

Our protagonist, Richard Mayhew, steps out of his daily life by helping a girl who is bleeding on the sidewalk.

With this action, his old life in London Above the world we know ends. The descriptions of London Below and some of the characters are amazing. Sometimes, though, I felt Richard was just along for the ride, and that actually made it slow going during some big parts of the story, but that changes.

There is also a very solid and satisfying conclusion here. View all 7 comments. Shelves: landscape-location-protagonist , ya , fantasy-faeries-magic , magical-realism.

It is dark but fun, and never priggish or preachy. The world-building is impressive, as is the huge array of brilliantly drawn secondary characters and there's nothing wrong with the main ones. Landmark Bingo Many famous London landmarks are mentioned, with historical and architectural affection.

The few obvious omissions might have been held back for a sequel? Then again, maybe Gaiman was just ahead of the recycling curve. Which was, more or less, exactly what it was. It includes an indulgent but oddly charming full-page description of an abandoned hospital. There were also several mattresses. For no easily explicable reasons, some of these mattresses had at some point been set on fire.

No one knew why; no one cared. Grass grew up through the springs. An entire ecology had evolved around the ornamental fountain in the centre of the well, which had for a long time been neither particularly ornamental nor a fountain. A cracked and leaking water-pipe nearby had, with the aid of some rainwater, transformed it into a breeding ground for a number of little frogs who plopped about cheerfully, rejoicing in their freedom from any non-airborne natural predators.

Crows and blackbirds and even occasional seagulls, on the other hand, regarded the place as a cat-free delicatessen with a special on frogs.

Slugs sprawled indolently under the springs of the burnt mattresses; snails left slim trails across the broken glass. Large black beetles scuttled industriously over the smashed grey plastic telephones and mysteriously mutilated Barbie dolls.

Now imagine if someone took the first book and mad libbed characters, settings, monsters, etc, so that you were left with the exact same story except instead of travelling the galaxy with your crazy friend and the most powerful man in the universe, you were travelling in haunted British sewers with a nerd's wet dream of a Xena warrior princess rival and a Gothic princess who can unlock doors sigh.

I don't think there is much of a coincidence either because Gaiman wrote the Hitchhiker's companion in the early 80s, as well as conducted interviews with Adams while he was alive not to mention took writing tips from him.

The only saving grace for me with this book was the fact that there someone actually made a miniseries on the BBC of it that is actually so bad that it makes the book look half way decent. Between all the cliche characters, cheesy narration, and formulaic plot, its just not worth your money or a read, especially when Hitch Hiker exists already. View all 20 comments.

Dear Book , Why did you get over so soon?? Why did you get over at all?? I could have spent many more days reading and re-reading those delightfully formed sentences, laughing at the intelligent absurdity of it even when not-so-scary villains were doing not-so-pretty things.

I could have s Dear Book , Why did you get over so soon?? I could have spent many more rainy Sundays cooped up in my room and dreaming about rat-speakers and angels, midnight markets and doors, the London Above and the London Below. But no matter how much I tried to prolong it and trust me, I did , the inevitable happened.

I made it past the last page. And I miss you. So very much :' Why are you a standalone, book? Why don't you have a sequel? I loved you before I even started - maybe the words 'Neil Gaiman' on your cover had something to do with that??

Three chapters later and I was unimpressed with your protagonist. Richard Mayhew was such a Anyway, I mentally pegged you as a 4-star then but somewhere in those dank tunnels, you charmed me, book.

You made me fall in love with you. You won me over with your ready wit and imagination and your lovely, lovely sense of humor. Thank you for coming into my life even if it was for a brief while. Thank you for taking me to that wonderful world. Maybe I'll fall through the cracks and go there someday. Or maybe I'll just revisit it in my dreams - safer that way.

Love you. Miss you. Your slightly insane reader, Scarlet. Please tell Neil Gaiman to never, ever stop writing. View all 32 comments. Feb 18, Brian rated it did not like it Shelves: fiction. I read Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" recently, and loved it.

So when I saw "Neverwhere" on the cheap shelf at the local bookstore I picked it up. For a book that is only pages I thought it would never end. It was Gaiman's first solo novel, so I will cut him some slack, but this text is just simply not that satisfying. The high praise for it mystifies me. But it is not a well written novel.

It verges on boring, and the characters are flat and for the most part go nowhere. It is almost like Gaiman wanted credit for the clever idea, but then did not know how to do anything with it. The last or so pages are very weak structurally and the plot is contrived and the ending telegraphed from a mile away.

The story is supposed to be a character arc where we see a man become who he was meant to be, but the internal life of all of the characters is so flat and undeveloped, that when the "high" points for the characters come you don't care. In short, "Neverwhere" would have been an intriguing graphic novel.

In fact, that is what Neil Gaiman has written, just without the pictures. As a standalone text, it fails. Skip this one. Read "American Gods" instead. View all 31 comments.

Richard had noticed that events were cowards: they didn't occur singly, but instead they would run in packs and leap out at him all at once.

This is a very well-written and predictable book by Neil Gaiman. Richard is an office drone. Of course he is. And he's dating a go-getting, beautiful woman who doesn't love him for what he is, but sees "potential" and dreams about the man she can turn him into.

You know the type. And he's miserable, but pretends he's happy becaus Richard had noticed that events were cowards: they didn't occur singly, but instead they would run in packs and leap out at him all at once. And he's miserable, but pretends he's happy because Our first clue that he's a moron. And he's an orphan. One day, which seemed just like every other ordinary day, he and Girlfriend are walking to an important dinner with Important People whom Girlfriend really really wants to impress, when Richard stumbles upon a filthy, skinny young woman in rags who is bleeding profusely.

Girlfriend is not sympathetic but Richard shows mercy Of course he does She is not from this world, but from another world, a darker and more dangerous world, hidden right beneath London's surface Of course. I know where this is going And she's some sort of princess or something Of course I am unsure if I have simply read too many books. Too many books, or too many books by the talented Mr. Gaiman was constantly trying to shock me and surprise me. I was neither shocked nor surprised.

I've gotten used to his preferences. Like hidden worlds full of sinister and quirky characters. Evil bad guys who talk and dress as if they are Victorian gentleman and are always referred to in some respectful way.

I'm not slamming Gaiman. He's an excellent storyteller - excellent. The book was fun, quick, and had great world-building. If only I hadn't seen all the characters before. If only I hadn't heard all the details of the plot before. I was disappointed in how little Gaiman was able to surprise me or interest me here. Gradually he realized that the Tube map was a handy fiction that made life easier but bore no resemblance to the reality of the shape of the city above.

It was like belonging to a political party, he thought once, proudly, and then, having tried to explain the resemblance between the Tube map and politics, at a party, to a cluster of bewildered strangers, he had decided in the future to leave political comment to others.

Or what about this: He continued, slowly, by a process of osmosis and white knowledge which is like white noise, only more useful , to comprehend the city, Isn't that interesting? It's such an interesting idea. The thin girl was gulping down one of Richard's bananas in what was, Richard reflected, the least erotic display of banana-eating he had ever seen.

Or how about this, this cracked me up: A late-night couple, who had been slowly walking along the Embankment toward them, holding hands, sat down in the middle of the bench, between Richard and Anaestheisa, and commenced to kiss each other, passionately. The man had his hand inside the woman's sweater and was moving it around enthusiastically, a lone traveler discovering an unexplored continent. I found this very funny. Starts off as a worthless noodle, ends up being a worthless potato.

Slightly harder, more nutritious, but basically still brainless and not worth much. It's just It was too consistent, to steady and inexorable a walk to be described as a stroll: Death walked like Mr. Oh, yes. He walked like death. Please make some attempt to control yourself, Mr. I can handle the sharp teeth and long black coats and eating pigeons and all that other crap, but there has to be some end to the hyperbole, surely?

We have De Carabas stealing candy from a baby at one point. Stealing candy from a baby. Isn't that a bit much? I think it's a bit much. There's no other reason to do it than to show what kind of man De Carabas is. This is the kind of thing I'm dealing with here. Or "Mind the Gap. And in this book the "gap" is actually this wraith-like thing that comes out of that space and tries to kill you or eat you or something. You know. Like Alice in Wonderland jokes. There's a lot of Alice in Wonderland type jokes in here.

Not too funny, IMO. Or what about when Gaiman has Richard go up to Jessica, and - to prove that he knows her - say, "You're Jessica Bartram. You're a marketing executive at Stocktons.
