Neverwhere / Neil Gaiman / 337 pages / Horror

"Have you ever got what you wanted and then realized it's not what you wanted after all?" Richard Mahew asks after he is miraculously returned to his former life in London.  His engagement to Jessica was broken when he was determined to aid bloody Dora.  Following her to lower London, he helps to avenge her family's deaths, visits a clan of talking rats, an angel, and mythical monster.  Escaping from two hired assassins who have caused havoc throughout history, he think he will be happy to have his old life back.  After all this, however, his former life appears staid and boring.
