So I’ve left it way way to long to post this review, I barely even remember the details, so sorry this is a bit of a rubbish wrap up.
So the main take away is I really truly enjoyed Neverwhere. The world Gaiman created in London Below was brilliant. When Richard Mayhew, a bit of a pathetic drip of a man, in my opinion, helps a woman he finds injured in the street, his life changes.
Gaiman plays on the classic human desire for a change of pace, an adventure, something new, the humdrum of a ‘normal’ life not being enough for some people and becoming the unexpected hero, the Everyman caught in a supernatural Good vs Evil story is the great escape from that boring old life.
It’s done well, the characters are all likeable in their roles, aside from Richard being, as I’ve said, a bit pathetic, and the ending is satisfactory.
