"Neverwhere's faster, smarter brother has arrived." 
 I haven't read this. It resides on my to-read list. However, I want to just say this: one-upping Gaiman with a relatively unknown author is both unfair to the author and to the book, because it comes off sounding pretentious. It makes me want to remove this book from my to-read list. And so, to whoever wrote that in the blurb? Kindly knock it the fuck off. You're doing a disservice to authors everywhere.
