主人公Richard Mayhewはロンドンに住むごく普通のビジネスマン。ところがある時謎の
少女Doorを助けてから彼の生活は一変します。現実世界に行き場を失ったリチャードは
否応なくロンドン地下の、恐ろしくも不可思議な別世界へと引き込まれていきます。

同じくGaimanの"Coraline"も異世界を旅する話ですが、こちらはさらにパワーアップ
しています。地下世界は広大で陰鬱で残酷、登場人物は皆強烈に個性的です。
中盤あたりからどんどん面白くなって、心臓がどきどきしていました。結末を読み、
思わずふ~っと満足のため息が出ました。
この本は読んでいると、においまで漂ってきます。あらゆる廃棄物・下水のにおい、
腐敗臭が。そんなよごれた世界なのに、なぜか芸術的と感じさせてくれるのです。
さり気なくユーモアも盛り込まれています。クライマックスは緊迫した状況なのに
ぷっと吹き出してしまう部分もありました。流血の場面もあり、ちょっと癖のある本
かもしれませんが、ダークファンタジーが好きな方におすすめしたい一冊です。

Gaiman has always been hit or miss for me. Some of his books I love, some I don’t care for, so I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about Neverwhere, outside of the fact that there’s something deeply satisfying about holding the illustrated version—something about thick little hardcovers is just the best feeling. Anyway, Neverwhere is a not subtle in its message: the homeless are invisible to those who want to pretend the “problem” doesn’t exist—but make it magic that has a very Tim Burton feel, because this is Gaiman, after all. When Richard sees one of those who have fallen through the cracks—a citizen of London Below—and proceeds to help her, it sets off a chain of events that plunges him into London Below and makes him just as invisible to London Above, and his old life, as the rest of the characters in this novel. In which there a lot, all of which are unique and magical and so beautifully distinct from each other. I even loved Mr Vandemar and Mr Croup who are unequivocally terrible people, but they are written in such a creative way that I couldn’t help but love them just as much as Richard and our heroine Door, with her opal-colored eyes.

I loved the prose of Neverwhere, it read almost like it was meant for children when it’s so clearly not. There’s this whimsy to it, alongside Gaiman’s love of a metaphor and simile, which made the whole style just as magical as London Below. Speaking of, I loved the characters that populated this secret place. Gaiman was able to weave in a complex mystery and twists and turns into something that should have been an otherwise very straight forward plot: find out why/who is after Door and killed her family, and get Richard back to London Above. Gaimain, in this particular book anyway, is able to make you love and care for a character so, so deeply and then cut you to the core by taking them away all in one chapter. He’s also able to play with your mind about what is truly reality for Richard, and who should our main characters trust in a way that really added to the twists at the end. It was masterfully done!

I will say that I read A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab before reading Neverwhere, and after reading Gaiman’s book, it’s really easy to see where Schwab got a lot of inspiration for that series: everything from the different types of Londons that only one person really seems to be able to move between, and even a certain magical coat. I’m not mad about this at all! It’s clear that Schwab idolizes Gaiman, and her writing is an homage to that without being a rip off. Its just something to keep in mind if you read this and things start sounding… familiar.

All in all, this was a perfectly satisfying read—from just holding the book, to the perfect illustrations, the magical whimsy of the writing, and the cast of incredible characters that inhabit London Below. The story is dark, but with moments of tenderness and humor so I never felt bogged down to the point where I could no longer appreciate the imagery. Gaiman’s fantasy is always a reflection of reality with fantastic elements, so the ugly parts of our world are still present, but made magic so when you read you don’t necessarily feel preached to. But I can definitely understand why this style may not be for everyone—Gaiman doesn’t describe anything in a straightforward manner, instead almost tricking the reader into visualizing these delightful things. Which I loved, personally! This book was quirky and deep, fantastic and the kind of realistic urban fantasy I didn’t know I was missing until now, which is why this gets an easy 5 stars from me!

Schönes Buch mit hübschen Illustrationen, Story mag ich auch, sollte im Original gelesen werden, auch wenn die Übersetzungen über die Jahre besser geworden sind.

As another reviewer - Sarah Wibrow - said; "Perhaps there's no such thing as ordinary. All we need is that catalyst to find the extraordinary within us." I think this is a perfect description of the reluctant, but amiable protagonist, and part of what makes this novel so insightful and thought-provoking despite it being fantasy. Richard Mayhew is typically 'English' and in this era where white males from a country with a colonial past are rarely portrayed positively in popular culture any more, it reminded me of all there is to celebrate in our unassuming, polite, yet quietly principled young men. There was much that resonated with me in the story too - not only Narnia but Alice in Wonderland and many English gothic novels. This notion of what lies beneath - both people and places - is profound and intriguing. My son is a policeman in London and his stories of the city's underside also remind me of this parallel, alternative world we barely glimpse. Of course there are no angels or mythological beasts but this novel makes you believe there could be. I loved the interplay between the familiar topography of London on the surface and the dreamlike dimension Richard comes to inhabit. In fact there are many dreamlike sequences (especially the extraordinarily powerful chapter on the ordeal) which blend the banal and familiar with the extraordinary and strange. Gaiman's novel reminded me that the mind and the imagination are what makes human beings truly miraculous. It is a mistake to think that only children can inhabit this domain. Perhaps it is preferable to the plane where most of our existence is lived out.
