Author: Neil GaimanFirst published in 1996 by BBC Books
Richard Mayhew is a plain man with a good heart - and an ordinary life that is changed forever on a day he stops to help a girl he finds bleeding on a London sidewalk. From that moment forward he is propelled into a world he never dreamed existed - a dark subculture flourishing in abandoned subway stations and sewer tunnels below the city - a world far stranger and more dangerous than the only one he has ever known...
Normally, I am ahead in my Throwback Thursday reading, but real life got in my way and I had nothing for today. I was looking back through my Goodreads list and thought I would highlight one of my favorite books. Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman is one of the best fantasy books I have ever read. I remember when I first read the book. I was sucked in right away. I loved the characters. I loved the world of London Below. Throughout the entire book, I was rooting for Richard to find his way home. Out of it all, I think my favorite part of the book was the end. I loved Richard's ultimate decision. If you are a fan of Neil Gaiman, definitely pick this one up. I hope it will be come a favorite for you as well!
