Neverwhere

Exactly the dark, urban fairytale I was hoping for.

It's been a while since I've read Gaiman's works though he remains one of my favourite authors. I took a break from his novels to give other authors and their books a fighting chance but now, returning to his work, I'm suddenly reminded how effortless it all is.

Effortlessly funny, effortlessly gripping, and absolutely effortless to read. I suffer from what some may call a tragically short attention span, even in the books I enjoy some passages take me two to three rereads because my brain just wont process the words but amazingly this has never been an issue with any of Gaiman's works.

Reading a Gaiman novel to me has always felt more like watching a show than actually reading, so rich it is in its description of people and places without ever being boring. Definitely would recommend and now I feel like checking out the audiobook!
