In Neverwhere, Gaiman's characters are believable and rich. Gaiman creates a fantasy world that the reader can imagine actually exists. This book kept my attention throughout, and I was anxious to find out what would happen next. This is a classic mixture of the dangling carrot and the grass is greener on the otherside, but Gaiman gives it a few twists to keep it really interesting. The main character spends a lot of time pining for the past while missing the excitement of the present. He does not relize this until after he encounters a few challenging obstacles. He must overcome these obstacles to regain what he's lost only to discover that the very thing he tried to get away from is the very thing he loves. Sound confusing? It is until you start reading. Neverwhere is much better than American Gods because the author picks one story line and sticks with it throughout. Good read.
