Neverwhere

by Neil Gaiman

Grade: Good

Good, however it wasn't as original as I'd expect from Gaiman. It reads almost like a movie script to me. It seemed to me that I'd seen many of the phrases and gestures before in movies. Maybe I'm imagining things, but it did detract from my enjoyment of the book.

"Neverwhere" is the novel adaptation of the series by the same title, which Gaiman wrote. It's also one of his earlier novels--ergo, the feeling of a movie script. The series is a low budget BBC production.

That would explain it.
