Neverwhere: Post 1

I chose this novel as my topic, because of all the books I read in high school, this was the only novel that I enjoyed. This is how the cover looked like when I read it.

I have seen the BBC series of Neverwhere.

Also, I  wrote a short parody of Neverwhere for an English class in high school. (Sorry---No image for that one. Ha-ha!)

 In my high school English class, I remember there was a poster with  a picture of Neil Gaiman on it. This is probably going to sound weird, but I remember that in the poster, he had a beard that was just like the one he has in this image.

When I think of Neverwhere, it reminds me of a picture I saw online, which is the one I have posted in the background. It is from:

I can't wait to arrive back to "London below" and remember of a time and place where memorable characters like Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar, Islington, Hunter, The Marquis de Carabas, Door, and Richard Mayhew were all part of another world that I felt like I was a part of. It's novels just like this one, that I want to read more of. Neverwhere has inspired me to break all barriers, to imagine, and to create a world of my own with other people in it.  If it wasn't for my high school teacher, who chose to remain anonymous, I would not have come across this great book. Thank  you, high school teacher!---JC
