What do you think LJ? I really enjoyed it, but I'm a big fan anyway.
I like the way Neil's stories flow. And the way his protagonists are always unassuming regular guys that make a big difference. This was a good one, too....you're right in London Below and don't want to come back out. I'm kind of torn on whether I liked this better than American Gods, because I think I might like it better just because i read it more recently...... In any event, I'd recommend him as an author that you can read regardless of title or topic. Orson Scott Card is like that. And so are Larry Niven and Poul Anderson.

...so, are you getting an idea for a new thread? too late.

(This is incredible, and could be a great Cellar Book Club Discussion Book. I'm only just finishing chapter 1, but wow. I don't remember history being this exciting in high school.)
