He ceases to exist in the ordinary world of London Above, and joins a quest through the dark and dangerous London Below, a shadow city of lost and forgotten people, places, and times. His companions are Door, who is trying to find out who hired the assassins who murdered her family and why; the Marquis of Carabas, a trickster who trades services for very big favors; and Hunter, a mysterious lady who guards bodies and hunts only the biggest game. London Below is a wonderfully realized shadow world, and the story plunges through it like an express passing local stations, with plenty of action and a satisfying conclusion. The story is reminiscent of Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but Neil Gaiman's humor is much darker and his images sometimes truly horrific. Puns and allusions to everything from Paradise Lost to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz abound, but you can enjoy the book without getting all of them. Gaiman is definitely not just for graphic-novel fans anymore. --Nona Vero--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.<br><br>'the sort of book Terry Pratchett might produce if he spent a month locked in a cellar with Franz Kafka'<br>Wired <br><br>Product Description:<br>Richard Mayhew is a plain man with a good heart -- and an ordinary life that is changed forever on a day he stops to help a girl he finds bleeding on a London sidewalk. From that moment forward he is propelled into a world he never dreamed existed -- a dark subculture flourish in abandoned subway stations and sewer tunnels below the city -- a world far stranger and more dangerous than the only one he has ever known...Richard Mayhew is a young businessman with a good heart and a dull job. When he stops one day to help a girl he finds bleeding on a London sidewalk, his life is forever altered, for he finds himself propelled into an alternate reality that exists in a subterranean labyrinth of sewer canals and abandoned subway stations below the city. He has fallen through the cracks of reality and has landed somewhere different, somewhere that is Neverwhere.<br><br><!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> 可惜我要找的是AMERICAN GODS~ AG不是我的茶= =b<br>Neverwhere有点灰暗版Oz国历险记的味道，不过倒也没有AG那么沉重压抑，感觉对伦敦的历史和地铁系统熟悉的人看着会觉得有趣，伦敦那些希奇古怪的站名和地名：earl's court，marble arch， knightsbridge，blackfriars， angle……全都成了NG在London Below里信手拈来的人名和地名，在伦敦的tube里穿梭想起里面的情节和潜伏在伦敦城地下的Great Beast就有点背脊发凉，不知道上海的地铁车轨和月台间是否也有某种恐怖的东西存在…… MIND THE GAP <!--emo&:ph34r:--><img src='http://www.cndkc.org/bbs_en/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='ph34r.gif' /><!--endemo-->页:
