Jess | 3721 comments Sci Fi author who writes the American Gods series and also a few others. I think he is also considered a YA author.

I had stared the audio for that one but did not care for the narrator...I have the e-book but have not gotten around to reading it yet

This book has been on my TBR pile for a LONG time. I don't know why I haven't had the urge to read it, but I just haven't. I have to admit that I picked it put because I just finished much of my TBR pile and so many others have recommended it.

Gin | 338 comments I love Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman . It was the very first fantasy book I ever read for pleasure. When I was a kid I started with the sweet valley twin books and then moved on to R.L. Stine. After that I stuck with thriller/mystery stuff. Then I found neverwhere and my fantasy addiction began. Guess that makes it an important book to me. Surprisingly enough, I've never read any of his other books. Any suggestions on one to try?

Thanks, Stardust sounds like something I might like.

Sandra | 4734 comments I really enjoyed Interworld by Neil Gaiman

This would be straight YA SciFi.

Jenny Kavalaugh (Jkroflmaoing) | 4 comments Neverwhere and American Gods are likely the two best books to be released in the last 25 years.

It's just my opinion, but I'm sticking to it.

Emy (emypt) | 59 comments Neil is made of awesome in my opinion ;) Some of his stuff is definitely adult, others clearly juvenile to YA, others are inbetween... Some of the ones I'd call clearly not adult (so juvenile to YA) include:

The Wolves in the Walls by Neil Gaiman Coraline by Neil Gaiman The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish by Neil Gaiman The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman Stardust by Neil Gaiman
