Richard is living a mundane, average life until he does a
good deed. The good deed lands him in a
place that stretches and then shatters his imagination. Richard ends up in an unlikely adventure
under London .
Apparently this is a reprint with changes by the author of
an older book. Gaiman states that this
is the book as he originally planned it.
The book clearly showcases the limitless imagination of a very popular
author.
The underground is a distorted reflection of the ills of
society. Richard faces those ills, grows
to be a different person and suddenly finds himself home.
The cast of characters is broad with the Marquis as one of
my favorites. The book has a short story
at the end featuring the Marquis that I really enjoyed.
Gaiman writes an interesting and frequently strange book and
yet it is captivating. There aren’t car
chases and explosions. It is a more
thoughtful book.
I enjoyed it.
I recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
