Neverwhere

Gaiman excels at creating vivid, imaginative worlds. That said, I just couldn't get into this book.

The characters are all interesting, but there wasn't anything about them that made me feel invested in their fate. We don't spend much time inside any POV character's head, but we do get vivid descriptions of the weird world beneath London.

Also, anything was possible in the story. When death is either ambiguous or not final, it's hard for me to really care if and when a character dies. There's no emotional impact.

Overall, this was a good book. It might even be a great book. But it wasn't the book for me.
