En el subsuelo de Londres, como debajo de cada gran ciudad, existe un mundo desconocido e invisible, plagado de extraños seres, en el que sobrevivir depende de abrir las puertas adecuadas... Hay mundos bajo tus pies, espías bajo las escaleras y formas que esperan al otro lado de los portales, que sólo has atisbado en tus sueños.
Tras leerNeverwhere, nunca volverás a pasar por los sombríos lugares del mundo moderno con la misma confianza infantil.
Neil Gaiman does a fantastic job of blending reality and fantasy in a way that makes readers wonder just what goes on in the periphery of the world. Neverwhere immerses the reader in a fantastical world situated tightly within our own.
This had a fantastic casting (hello, James McAvoy!) and was really fun to listen to, but also really confusing. Unlike the regular audiobook, there was no filler between the dialogue, so I felt like I was missing out on a lot of the world-building (and I've read the original book at least twice). I'm guessing this is something you get used to when listening to full-cast audio, but I'm not convinced I like it. I would have to know the book forwards and backwards before I could really enjoy it. However, if you are really familiar with "Neverwhere," I highly highly recommend listening to this.
Of all the brilliant books Gaiman has written, this is still the best in my opinion. The world, as well as the characters inhabiting it, is fascinatingly detailed; his writing warm and razor-sharp; the story develops fast but at an even, relaxed pace.
