Amazing book, buy it and see for yourself. I will now be reading all of Gaiman's books, one after the other.

This book might have been partly spoiled for me by the fact that I read it shortly after watching the TV series, so I was sometimes distracted by the differences in the two; I did however love that it had the chance to flesh out some characters a bit more, in particular Old Bailey. A wonderful novel and a delightful spin on names and locations from the 'real' London, but it shows somehow that this was written primarily as a script for the visual medium and only later adapted into a novel.

If you descend into London Below, nothing is what it seems and not at all as you know it in London Above. This book has a pageturner plot which makes you think a little of a Tolkien adventure, but the antihero is much funnier than Frodo! Absurd humour as I like it, and in the bottom a tale about a boy who prefers to not grow up.
