Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
4.0

 I wish I had read this book at a different, or, really, before I saw an excellent staged version of it. The play was done by a small theatre with a handful of cast members and a small budget, which is really how one should put on a production of Neverwhere. It was amazing, one of the best theatrical experiences I've had. When I read the book though, I was surprised that that much had changed in production. I felt like I had missed out on experiencing this book by seeing the play first.

I still like the story. Probably not my favorite Gaiman book, but it has a charm all its own. I do think that Mr. Croup and Vandemar are possibly his most entertaining villains though.
