So Gaiman’s writing sometimes grates on me. He overuses adverbs, the pacing is uneven, and his characters, while not completely flat, exist somewhere between two and three dimensions.

However, Gaiman excels at inventing creative worlds, and Neverwhere is a prime example. Here, he manages to invent a London underworld, filled with the people and places who fell through the cracks of London Above. It’s a fun romp, by no means brilliant, but a hell of a way to kill a couple of evenings.
