I would like to thank Mr. Gaiman for his wonderful contribution to the literary world, and for the enrichment that I have found in his stories. I have always wanted to write, and it was in reading Smoke and Mirrors that I was inspired to begin to write. So thank you Neil Gaiman, I wish you all the best. Blake.

I only came across Neverwhere by chance. I found myself looking for a present for a friend and picked up the latest addition of Neverwhere. Once he had finished it he came to me and advised that I went back to the store and bought my own copy, intrigued I did. After that I moved on to Stardust, American Gods, Good Omens (I am a big Pratchett fan as well), Anansi Boys (which I now have on CD) and I am currently half way through Smoke and Mirrors. I have not enjoyed many books to the extent that I have enjoyed these, they among the few books that I have not only been able to read twice but several times.

Having only read "Good Omens" and seen "Neverwhere" I was unaware of just how much great stuff Neil has produced. I am just about to start a new job in the middle east so I will e taking an arm full of his books with me as I am lost without something to read. A friend of mine wants to write the stage play for "Good Omens" and he has me pictured as "Crawley" well if he gets permission to do it he will have to wait two years before I am back in the country.

The Sandman series (especially the japanese variant), Lucifer, Good Omens, American Gods, Stardust. Could go on for a while but it is most subsinctly put to say that he has a rare understanding of both human nature and the underlying mythic substructure which pervades our unconscious. In short a storyteller, bard, skald of almost unsurpassed brilliance

I just wanted to thank you and Dave Mckean for inspiring me immensely. Sandman will always be a true companion, keepsake and guide.

I am LOVING Neils books since picking them up for the first time about three months ago. I read Anansi Boys first which is a laugh out loud book, easy to pick up and get lost in, like any good yarn should be!), then American Gods - yes, it is the masterpiece everyone claims it is (Shadow is a fantastic character). Then Fragile Things which I am gradually dipping into and find very thought-provoking, and I have just finished Neverwhere which I simply could not put down. Next time I visit London I will be looing out for the cracks!!! I love the worlds Neil creates as they are so vivid and imaginative, recreated with love and humour. I feel sad every time I finish one of his books. Cannot wait for the next one (any chance of a sequel to Neverwhere, Neil?) Thank you for restoring my faith in the power and joy of reading books. Much love.

On the back of reading the Sandman series (which I loved) I read American Gods and was blown away. This is my favourite book of all time and I urge you all to read it.

Sandman is perhaps the greatest graphic novel series written. Mr.Gaiman is 'the prince of stories'.
I hope he comes to India soon as we have a rich mythical culture out here as well.
He's offered me an impetus to continue writing graphic novel scripts and stories.

I just want to thank you for what you bring to my evenings, before sleeping, when I turn on a small light and I completly dive into Gaiman's universe! I mean that each of Gaiman's book is a masterpiece, a ticket to an awaken dream (does that mean anything?) and merci beaucoup!
(I've read some books in french and some others in original version, to my point of view the french translation is very good, but i'm still sad that books are released much later in France...)

Ever thought of doing an illustrated version of Stardust?
It would be amazing
I absolutely loved that book.
