Review of 'Neverwhere' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

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.
