I began this book while sitting in a jury waiting room after having been called to take part in jury selection (just doing my duty), and was swept away by the story of Richard, Door, and the rest of the under-Londoners.

Mr. Gaiman himself handled the reading of the audiobook, calling it “the author's preferred text” so I have no idea if that means unabridged, added-on to, or whatever. Not that I minded, his characterizations were wonderful. The mystery of who was pulling the strings played out beautifully as I was unable to guess which characters were involved in which things until the end. I wish I could be more descriptive, but I don't want to spoil anything.

On the whole, another great story from Mr. Gaiman.
