This is maybe the third time I've read this book, and I'm not sure why I don't read it more often. I love this story! 

 The worldbuilding here has totally seeped into the way I see the real world, as every hidden doorway and obscure corner are clearly parts of Whatever-City-I'm-In Below. And Richard Mayhew is cleverly disguised as an ordinary bumbling idiot, but in the ways that really count he's everything I love about a classic hero. 

 There are occasional places that get unnecessarily dark and icky for my tastes (and to be clear, many more than are dark and icky, but in ways that ARE necessary for the story) but I've never felt like this story wallowed in the darkness. It more presents that there is a whole lot of darkness in this world, and mildly wonders what you would like to do about it.

i listened to neil gaiman's audio narration of this book and i have to say that every time he was voicing richard and said "anGEL" it fully took me out of the story..... WHY IS HE SAYING IT LIKE THAT?
