My friend recommended Neverwhere to me recently. (If you plan to read the book, I suggest you not read this synopsis in this first paragraph that's coming up, because I liked the book more because I had no idea what was going to happen.) It's about a man who is accidentally thrust into a parallel universe that coincides with regular London, called London Below. There, he helps a girl find out who killed her family, so that he can somehow get back to London Above, the London we know now. It's an interesting concept. I still think it's kinda weird that London Below is only in London and nowhere else. I guess I'm more of a look-at-the-big-picture kind of person.As I was reading it, my friend told me that she had the first season of Neverwhere . I realized it started out as a BBC show! Neil Gaiman (also wrote Coraline and Star Dust) was a scriptwriter for the show. After the show was canceled, Gaiman wrote the book! I watched the first episode. It's weird because it's basically the same-- almost every line!
I heard they're making a movie. It's all coming out in such a weird order! First a show, then a book, then a movie. All I know is, it's coming out in 2009.
The book was pretty good. I love adventure stories, so if you do too, then you'll most likely enjoy this book.
I give it 4 stars!

Yay! You blogged. It has lightened my spirit!
Should I read Neverwhere? Cuz then I won't read your review now and read it later. =)
Yeah you should read it.
You can read the rest of the paragraphs just not the first one!
Ho confusing ah.
fine.. I'll add "in this first paragraph" to my warning for stupid people like u.
your stoopid luara
luara? why the heck do people keep saying that?! my friend calls me luara all of a sudden. and keeps writing i love loo-ara on my board.
OMG! You are so dense!! Now you are forcing me to explain my joke, so it is now ruined. RUINED!!
I said "your stoopid luara." Each word in that phrase is spelled wrong! So I am being facetious when I said you were the stupid one.
And why the heck would I call you luara purposely?!?! I have never in my life done that. GARSH!
wow.
well you're talking to a child of the new generation where everyone types with mispellings and uses oo instead of u and often uses your instead of you're. i barely noticed. all i noticed was the luara.
Yeah, I figured, which was why I spelled your name wrong. I thought maybe that'll tip you off. =p Okay, too subtle. So sue me.
shyeah
I read the book years before I found out that there was a series made in BBC!
