Find Yourself Neverwhere

Nail Gaiman is one of the most interesting and talented writers in the world of fantasy! A friend of mine insisted I read Neverwhere this past week, and I really enjoyed every moment of the book. The book is centered around the life of Richard Mayhew, who moves from Scotland to London for a new job, and is leading a perfectly average life until Lady Door comes crashing, literally, into his path. Rescuing Door from the people who are chasing her leads Richard into the dark, mysterious Underside world of London, where he encounters many strange and wondrous creatures and humans. Gaiman weaves a beautiful story, intermingled with wonderful descriptions of the encounters Richard makes. Richard ends up helping Door on her quest to discover and avenge the folks who killed her family, and along the way they gather a ragtag group of friends who are on their own quests. The book is magical and complex and intense, and I believe that once you start it, you won't be able to quit until you finish it! Neil Gaiman was born in Portchester, England, but now lives in Minnesota. Check out Neil Gaiman's website at http://www.neilgaiman.com/
