Neil Gaiman - Neverwhere
How do I review this book without spoilering it?
Richard Mayhew gets drawn into the dark side of London - an underside where magic is real and where people can talk to rats and all that stuff. He ends up helping the Lady Door and the Marquis de Carabas fulfill their quest.
This book was truly amazing. This is only the second book I read by Neil Gaiman and I feel he is already becoming one of my favourite authors. His style of writing is just unbelievably great.
There are some fantastic metaphors in this piece. Like darkness being an actual force instead of just being defined as the absence of light. Darkness takes its toll. I loved that about the book.
Even though we’re entering a parallel London here we can still reflect our world with all these dark metaphors and characters that are just plain evil. And there are of course some good people, but you never know.
I have no words for it, guys. It was amazing.
