What did I just read

Okay, I started another book. Why must there be so many good books to read? I can hardly keep up! This one is called Neverwhere, and it's written by the amazing Neil Gaiman. While I count characters as one of the most important parts of a book, let's not forget what makes Neverwhere really special and what makes all books classify as books, which is the story. I am intrigued by the characters, but I'm trapped by the story. From what I can see so far, Richard, the main character, is in a pretty bad situation. Having two creepy men around suspecting that you may be the one harboring the girl they're trying to kill might not be the way you want to spend your weekend. Even though he manages to escape the fate of being killed by these hired assassins, he suddenly is wrapped up in a parallel universe called London Below. It's inhabitants are about the most curious thing about it, seeing as how your next door neighbor might be from ancient Rome. I don't want to explain the entire plot, so I'll wrap this entry up by explaining what I think: the book so far is one that I can never guess what might happen next. I find that no matter what anyone may tell me about it, I still end up being whisked away and wondering what just happened at what it all meant. Awesome book. Dont read it if you like to know exactly what's going on at all times.
