How is your week going so far? Well, I have been brushing up on my knowledge for a math placement test and catching up on my favorite shows. This week’s review, I will be covering one of the books I read during the read-a-thon last week. The book is called Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. For those that never heard of Neil Gaiman, he is famous for many novels like Stardust, the Sandman graphic novels and more books which are mysterious and holds a lot of fantasy. The book Neverwhere was actually a book I have started years ago but then didn’t think I would pick it up and sold the book. And now for the read-a-thon, I decided to borrow it from the library and reread the book and finish it. I had a feeling now I will read it with a new mindset.

Synopsis:

The book Neverwhere takes place in the city of London and centers around a man named Richard Mayhew. Richard is a man with a great life, a great job, nice place and fiancé who he is in love with. One night on the way to a meeting with his fiancé’s boss he sees a girl lying on the street covered blood. He goes to help her and leaving his fiancé he goes to his apartment and tries to help the wounded girl. Later he finds out her name is Door and is running away from two men who had something to do with the murder of her parents.

After Richard helps Door escape, he goes back to his normal life. The next day he wakes up and finds out he is invisible and goes to find Door to find answers which lead him to a secret world below the streets of London. A world of mystery, dark and a wonders. A world filled with underground tunnels to go beyond. Richard and Door help her find out who is behind her parent’s murder to help Richard get back the life he lost.

Review:

Neverwhere is amazing and a piece of art. In fact, I felt stupid for selling the book when I used to have and who knew I would be reading it again? Well, now I know to think before selling my books. The books is a dark and I was glued to the book and never wanted to stop reading. It’s that good. The characters themselves are fascinating from the villains in the story and Neil created the world beyond imagination. The plot itself has unpredictable plot twist and you wouldn’t know what’s going to happen either. I totally recommend picking up the book and reading. For those that are interested the links to the book is below and as always keep reading.
