Richard Mayhew is a young man with a good heart and an ordinary life, which is changed forever when he stops to help a girl he finds bleeding on a London sidewalk. His small act of kindness propels him into a world he never dreamed existed.
Me esperaba más brujería y más dolor, por ser la historia de Circe. Aún así, ha sido muy interesante de leer y me ha recordado lo estúpidos que con los dioses.
No he leído La Odisea, todavía, pero vi Epic: The Musical y quedé encantada con Odiseo. Con este libro le odié. Telémaco desde luego que no se parece a él y muchas gracias.
Esperaba ver más furia o venganza por parte de Circe, he de decir que sabía muy poco o casi nada de ella, pero a veces su pasividad y su necesidad de que la valoraran gente como esa, me ponía de los nervios.
De todos modos me ha gustado su versión y he llegado a empatizar con su historia.

Under the streets of London there's a place most people could never even dream of. A city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, knights in armour and pale girls in black velvet. This is the city of the people who have fallen between the cracks.
Richard Mayhew, a young businessman, is going to find out more than enough about this other London. A single act of kindness catapults him out of his workday existence and into a world that is at once eerily familiar and utterly bizarre. And a strange destiny awaits him down here, beneath his native city: neverwhere.
According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter - the world's only totally reliable guide to the future - the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just after tea...
My local library did a “blind date with a book” through February, where the books were wrapped with a quote and genre written on the wrapping. This is not a book I would typically choose for myself but I do love Green mythology so was excited to read it. It that’s your thing, it’s a pretty interesting read!
I don't really understand anything. The thing resonated to me a lot is how powerful people abuse their power
4.5 Stars.
I love this world! I love these characters! I love, love, love it all! So magical! It made me so happy and excited reading it and really what more can you ask for!? Definitely looking forward to reading the next two books in this series.
P.S. If you've only seen the movie, this one is a classic "the book was 1000 times better" scenario.
I really like the book.The idea of reading characters out of books is really interesting to me.Each chapter is started by a quotation from a classic book,I love them.
definitely a book you can't stop reading it's so much fun and you get thrown into the amazing world
I really wanted to say that I loved this book but halfway through, I found it a drag to finish. It seemed repetitive, bitty and a chore.
