I hate when I have to admit defeat and stop reading a book. Especially if it's a book by a beloved author such as Neil Gaiman. I don't think Gaiman and I are meant to be...I really enjoy his style of writing, his dark humor, and his world building. However, I find his plots to be dull. I am well aware that I am in the minority, but I just can't seem to find myself interested in the stories that he tells. Aside from his mythology retelling, I find myself bored with the stories. And I am at that point in my life where I would rather give up on a book, than waste my time and find out that I in fact should have stopped reading it long ago. I would rather spend that time on books that I enjoy...even if Gaiman's writing is ridiculously beautiful, I don't seem to enjoy them. -\_(tsu)_/- 
 HOWEVER! I would recommend this book. I would highly recommend that you read this book and decide for yourself whether or not you like it. There are a lot of people who obviously love it, and then there are those people like me. Don't let any of us sway you into loving something or not giving it a try. Dive in and find out for yourself if Neverwhere is the book for you. (:
