4.5 stars! Since I've had some technical issues with audio CDs lately, and the speaker of the last fiction one I listened to was mostly awful, I need to strongly commend Gaiman on this work. There were zero weird issues with the discs. More importantly, Gaiman is an incredible orator. His accents and voices were perfect, his timing impeccable and his tone and delivery sublime. *swoon* I have now decided Gaiman's voice belongs up there with Sean Connery's. The man knows how to read his books. The dream sequences are handled well too. 
 As for the story, an act of charity (attending to a bleeding woman, Door, he finds in front of him) brings Richard Mayhew into a different world, London Below. Many creatures are encountered and dangerous situations dealt with during Richard's attempt to get back to his home, London Above. It would be a fine bonus if the people there recognized him again, since after his good samaritism he became invisible to London's inhabitants. 
 Richard also bravely accompanies Door in her quest to avenge her family's death. The bad guys are amusingly wicked. The women are strong. And Neverwhere is a great place to get lost in for a few days.
