True enough, very very similar to Anansi boys, but about 1000 times better. I preferred Neverwhere, but I still loved this book. Shadow and Wednesday are the perfect anti-heroes, you can’t help but love them through all of their varied and multiduninous flaws.

Read this after endless recommendations—it completely failed to capture me.

It took me months to read because I was mostly reading it on my lunch break and during chiropractic therapy sessions. It was so detailed and involved and mind bending that it took me a week to figure out that I think I liked it.

Worth reading though, regardless.

Since I’ve read Anansi Boys recently, it’s painfully clear, how very very very similar the two of these are. Really, Anansi Boys was just this plot, but with the lack of backbone that characterized Neverwhere. I think I’m done with Gaiman now. It seems like he has one story to tell, and he’s just telling it over and over, with occasional different perks and characters.

Great book. A brilliant resolution leaves you thoroughly fulfilled.

Good gripping fantasy book, fun premise, if not the most original plot.

Pure joy

lovely simon from work lent me this.

damn it’s good.

Winner of the Hugo and Nebula. It made me shiver, repeatedly.

A very good book, with vivid and sometimes really disturbing imagery (kitten in the closet… eeew). Good references to myth and legend, although it was a little spare for me. Good read though.
