I loved this: the ultimate urban fantasy. In our modern society, when a person falls below the social net and becomes a streetperson, we talk of them "falling through the cracks." In the London of Neverwhere, when people "fall through the cracks" they reach the "underside" of "London Below." The kind of place where Knightsbridge becomes Night's Bridge, where crossing into nightmare takes a toll beyond price.

3 am…. great…. thanks a lot Mr. Gaiman, it’s your fault I can’t manage to put down this book. I be damn tired at work tomorrow but hell it’s worth it.

A very creative story, much in Gaiman's vein. As usual, he is able to fabricate these wonderful stories out of today's world.

Felt lost most of the time with this one. Too many tangents, too many characters and left too many threads unresolved.
A few years back I read 'Good Omens', co-authored with Terry Pratchett, and the characters in this book felt similar. I enjoyed book, but not bowled over like some are by Gaiman.
