Media reviews

"In spite of the generic title, Neil Gaiman's 'Neverwhere' is as good a fantasy as one is likely to find on current bookshelves. Indeed, the title is one of the few ordinary things about this first full-length work by an author of popular 'graphic novels'....The plot is well-structured, the prose style is frequently excellent, the research on London's history thorough...and the characters endearing--even the wicked ones."
