Review of Neverwhere

Neverwhere (1996)
8/10
great storytelling, lousy production values
26 September 2000
I have "Neverwhere" on tape, and I've watched it about a dozen times now - and I still love it. Of course, it probably helps that I visited London just before reading the novel _Neverwhere_ (I read it before I saw the BBC version), and it certainly helps that I love everything Neil Gaiman has ever written. There is one problem, however - the production values are really quite terrible. The special effects are about as well done as Dr. Who, and the Beast of London looks more like a shaggy yak than a true monster. Still, the story more than makes up for the production values.
