Wow you all really love Neil Gaiman don't you. I just read Anansi boys which I did enjoy but found the first half a bit flat, not enough imagery, I wasn't lost in a world I normally get lost in when I read. It wasn't till the story moved to Jamaica that I got a bit more exciting, may be it was the change in climate from cold grey London to warm exotic Jamaica that warmed things up for me. Or maybe this reflects Charlie reclaiming his Spider side becoming a more vibrant being. If so this does show rather good penmanship if not then the first half was really quite flat and uninteresting. What do you think?

Hi Neil, I wish you could visit Salvador. I'm sure you would love it. It is a city where you could find the most unusual people and religions all mixed-up. When I readed American Gods, it reminded me a lot of Savador, that's called Black Rome. We were a land of proud indians, that didn't submit then selves to slavery. And the Europeans, most from Portugal, bringed the african slaves then. A people so proud of their religion and culture, that survived slavery and now are the soul of this city. What I saw of Salvador in your book was this, the hopeful view of surviving and pride. Thanks and sorry about my poor English skills.

Neverwhere is truly one of the most enchanting and enthralling story that I have ever read - I loved it! Is there going to be a sequel? I was sad when I finished reading it and actually miss the characters. Is there a production on DVD? Thank you Neil for your incredible imagination. I am also a huge fan of Death and Sandman.
Thank you.

NEVERWHERE needs a sequel. I need to know what happens next! Gaiman always seems to leave you wanting more for me. It all started with the Sandman comics and then NEVERWHERE left me thinking what do I read next?

When I was 18 I entered a comic book store for the first time with a Superman-freak friend of mine. While she was browsing through the Krypton-area I amused myself by gawking at the display of the latest hot genre: GRAPHIC NOVELS! Even though I couldn't open (and certainly couldn't afford) any of the items on display, one series stood out beyond ALL the others. SANDMAN! I was so impressed.

Neil writes from the imaginative point of reference that doesn't make you feel you're drowning in images! I can put my own imagination to use (Spider looks like Cat from Red Dwarf to me!). Doesn't dumb down and doesn't lose me half way through with clever-clever. I like his intellegence and humour, recognising that amongst the heavy literary and fantasy stuff we/I read, I also like a Jilly Cooper! I love Anansi Boys (what about Iktomi and Q?). (Good companion book would be 'It' by Stephen King).

I first read Good Omens 4 years ago, have been hooked since then..
You gotta love this guys style.. .

I first read Good Omens (on the back of reading many a Terry Pratchett novel) about 5 years ago and fell in love with it utterly. Then Neverwhere came along and just took the biscuit. Probably my favourite book of all time....until I read Anansi Boys. Neil - I take my hat off to you, do a deep bow and hope one day to meet you and shake you by the hand for being so gosh-darned fabulous. :)

Neverwhere must be one of the best books I've ever read from an author I've never heard of - can't wait to read more.
My husband had it given as a present for our wedding anniversary and he couldn't put it down! This a MUST READ BOOK!
Bev, Blackpool
Just read Neverwhere - can't wait to read the rest. One of the best books I've read in the last ten years.
Paul R, Blackpool
read 'Good Omens' a few years ago and loved it! my dad got me 'American Gods' for Christmas, loved that too! a good friend got me 'Neverwhere' (I got him 'American Gods', for his!) for my birthday on Saturday, am now in the middle and am loving it as much as the others! (oh and, while getting my copy of Good Omens signed by Terry Pratchett, he told me to say hi to Neil if I ever met him... I'm still waiting to deliver the message in person!) Can't wait to read more!

Where can I get the BBC production of Neverwhere on dvd ? Can anyone help?

I discovered Gaiman with comics,as almost everybody else. The I got to read "Good Omens" and I loved it, it's hilarious. Right now I'm with "American Gods" and I can't stop reading it... and still waiting "Neverwhere"

I first discovered Gaiman's works last year, while I spent my holidays in Finland (Gaiman not being translated yet into Romanian). I found Neverwhere, Stardust, and Coraline in a bookstore, bought them, and fell in love with the richness of his writing. Yes, last year it was the "Gaiman year" for me. Now I'm happy to tell you that I convinced one friend of mine from UK to buy the other books and go to one of his book signings for me. I can hardly wait to receive his other works!

I've collected as much Neil Gaiman as I have been able to get my hands on over the last ten years (almost 200 items!) I had to pull a few strings to get these extended versions in the U.S., but it was definitely worth the trouble. Gaiman is the best!
Jeffrey, Chicago, USA
Oh my, he\'s coming to Bath! Now, if only I can convince my parents to let me have the day off college ...
Zoe, Devon
I hope Neil comes back to the UK soon - I'd love to go to a signing! Don't desert us forever ...
I practically know Good Omens off by heart - it's my favourite book. I just finished re-reading American Gods and am pretty excited about Anansi Boys. Roll on the paperback Tube-friendly edition!
Jo, London
American Gods is epic, Neverwhere is brilliant. I'm collecting the comic series. Can't wait to get my hands on Anansi Boys!
Mark, Basildon
If you're from London then read Neverwhere. If you want something funny then read 'Good Omens', a fantastic book about the apocalypse that was co-written but that other funny englishman Terry Pratchett. All the rest are good as well, and it's probably worth looking at Neil's blog to find out more about the man, his daily life and a black cat called Fred.
Brendon, London
Read American Gods. It\'s a fantastic epic, and Mr Nancy appears there too!
Flora, London
Anansi Boys is great. I can't wait to start reading the others - where should I start?
