Under the streets of London there's a world most people could never even dream of - a city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, and pale girls in black velvet. Richard Mayhew is a young businessman who is about to find out more than he bargained for about this other London. A single act of kindness catapults him out of his safe and predictable life and into a world that is at once eerily familiar and yet utterly bizarre. There's a girl named Door, an Angel called Islington, an Earl who holds Court on the carriage of a Tube train, a Beast in a labyrinth, and dangers and delights beyond imagining...And Richard, who only wants to go home, is to find a strange destiny waiting for him below the streets of his native city. This title includes extra material exclusive to Headline Review's edition.

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

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Beneath the streets of London...

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.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars A Tolkien-like adventure, but much funnier!

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.
