Description

National Best Seller

Selected as one of NPR's Top 100 Science Fiction and Fantasy Books of All Time

The number one New York Times best-selling author's wildly successful first novel featuring his new Neverwhere tale, "How the Marquis Got His Coat Back".

Richard Mayhew is a young man with a good heart and an ordinary life, which is changed forever when he stops to help a girl he finds bleeding on a London sidewalk. His small act of kindness propels him into a world he never dreamed existed. There are people who fall through the cracks, and Richard has become one of them. And he must learn to survive in this city of shadows and darkness, monsters and saints, murderers and angels, if he is ever to return to the London that he knew.

"A fantastic story that is both the stuff of dreams and nightmares" (San Diego Union-Tribune), Neil Gaiman's first solo novel has become a touchstone of urban fantasy and a perennial favorite of readers and listeners everywhere.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Delightful…inventively horrific."( USA Today)
"[Gaiman] is, simply put, a treasure house of story, and we are lucky to have him in any media." (Stephen King)

Absolutely perfect

It is difficult to pick a favourite Gaiman book, but I think Neverwhere is mine. Having the authors voice narrate the story opens it up to a whole new experience. I read the book while listening to the audiobook and it was seamless, Neil Gaiman's voice quickly and naturally fitting into my mind while I read.

The story, like much of Gaiman's fiction, is difficult to pin down to a specific genre. It is fantasy, fiction, funny, dark, meaningful and poignant all wrapped into one easy to read, light book. The characters are all so vivid, every individual person stays with you as a distinct friend who you think of after you finish the book, wondering how they are getting on. If you are curious about Neil Gaiman's work, I definitely recommend this as a starting point because it is a much less intense read than American Gods for example, but will also introduce you to his classic style.

Very entertaining and completely enthralling

This story, like Gaiman's others (Anansi Boys, Ocean at the end of the lane) is imaginative and sucks you right in. The narration is well paced and expertly edited.
I would use this story as an example of why audiobooks are good as reading the actual things.

Freaking awesome

Neil's performance was utterly enjoyable, as was the story. I love the Marquis, and I was so happy to get the new story of his coat included. Please, sir, may we have some more.

Fun listen of another of Gaiman's hidden worlds

Neverwhere takes a little while to hold your interest but Neil Gaima's reading of the book with his strong voice keeps you interested enough to keep listening. Once you are fully a part of London below then you realize why this became a best seller as the story becomes more and more fascinating

Excellent story, and narration.

Excellent story, and narration. I've been going through Neil Gaiman's stories, and this is another good one. Very enjoyable. I accidentally listened to an abridged radio version first, thinking that was the full length. Both were great.

Great book and performance

Gaiman books are best read by Gaiman himself. The story is really good her as are the characters and his unique way of telling it.

Highly recommended.

What a "page" turner

I only listen to audio books while driving in my car. Even though it's an audiobook, it was a real "page turner" and I found myself wanting to stay in the car and drive somewhere just so I could listen to the story. And the narration by Neil Gaiman was so good, I kept visualizing the story, so I can't wait until a movie is made of this story.

well-crafted tale

"Neverwhere" is a well-crafted tale with rich characterization easily accomplished through the third-person omniscient narrator. Richard Mayhew, our protagonist, fumbles along almost a little too willingly (and conveniently), but characters such as Anaesthesia, Hunter, and the Marquis make it all worthwhile (I would love to read more about all three of these characters!). Gaiman's reading of the story is delightful and his character voices well suited to this tale. Apparently this is a novelisation of a BBC TV series which I have not seen but will seek out. #Audible1
