Neverwhere

Last week I plowed through Neil Gaiman's first Sandman collection, and his book Neverwhere. I didn't choose those deliberately, but I knew he was writing books, and I liked his work on the Sandman when he was doing that. So those two books were what my local library had to offer. I'd say that Neverwhere was good, maybe great. It had a lot of imagination, and offered a very rich world in which the plot only scratched the surface. I especially liked how the main character just sort of faded out of society, and no one could quite remember him or really notice him. On the other hand, the plot was confusing, especially in retrospect. I don't want to give anything away, but, considering the ending, most of the apparent danger to the girl Door must have been fictitious. At any rate, it was still a good read. Next up is the rest of the Sandman series, and his book American Gods, which everyone seems to love.
