Helpful Score: 4


I only made it half-way through this book....and that was because I kept pressing on thinking things would start to make sense or come together. Now, I may never know, but I'm ok with that. This is a very imaginative story, with many unexpected turns and characters...and you would think that would make it a winner, right? It was just too much. Too many characters...perhaps leading to...NoWhere? After allowing my imagination to follow this book where-ever it was leading...in the end, I put it down because I just didn't care to finish it. Gross creatures and wierd deaths were it's most gripping moments. Jumps through time...or is it space...left me confused. All-these characters and none of them seemed to connect or be fully built. Just suddenly they are there and then not there. Sort of a dark "Alice in Wonderland"...without the silly, fun, or humor. Sorry to say, for all it's great other reviews, Neverwhere was...Neverfinished for me!
