Did I Actually Read This? A Candid Review of Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman | Retirement Reads

If you completely forgot you read a book last month, can you honestly consider it a good book? In this video, I take a deep dive into Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, a novel about people living in the cracks of society, both literally and figuratively. We explore the journey of Richard Mayhew, a man from "London Above" who stumbles into the dark, magical subterranean world of "London Below," meeting unforgettable characters like Door, the charismatic Marquis de Carabas, and the deadly assassins Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandermar. In this video, we discuss: The oddity of forgetting a book shortly after reading it and what that says about the reading experience. The plot, world-building, and characters of Neverwhere. The history behind the story’s transition from a BBC series to a novel. Personal reflections on Neil Gaiman’s body of work, including Sandman and Good Omens. Have you ever finished a book only to realize you’ve forgotten almost everything about it? Or do you have tips on how to read multiple books at once without getting the characters mixed up?
