Libra...Gaskella, yes, Gaiman first for preference!<br /><br />Librarian, a definite re-read, it's so good. Have you read Stardust?<br /><br />Annie, I think it would be an excellent choice for older teenagers, and maybe even for confident younger readers, but it might be a little demanding for some. Neverwhere might be a better choice? Or Stoneheart, which I'm pretty sure you know? For older teenagers the book I'm reading at the moment, Rivers of London, is great fun!<br /><br />Alex, sorry, I was too slow in moderating comments - work does intrude so on blogging! Yes, the beginning is slow, but then you're caught up in the story.<br /><br />Susan, that's wonderful, I can't wait to hear what you think of it. Re TBR shelves, I've got the new Elly Griffiths book waiting at the library :)<br /><br />Jenny, you'll like Rivers of London (Ben Aaronovitch), too!Jodie Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442935205880334932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-69043645320508668962011-01-26T23:53:07.658+00:002011-01-26T23:53:07.658+00:00Oh, this sounds great.

Yours is the first review I've read of it. Lovely review too, by the way, especially as I loved Neverwhere so much, so now I am anxious to read this one. Thank you! I wish we lived closer so we could see exactly how similar our TBR shelves are! lolSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-25001876870525176342011-01-23T13:09:29.839+00:002011-01-23T13:09:29.839+00:00Funny, I left a comment on this book yesterday, bu...Funny, I left a comment on this book yesterday, but it isn't here. I was attracted to your review because it started off talking about Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, one of my favorites.<br />Since you say A Madness of Angels is a worthy successor to that book, it sounds like one I will definitely read.<br />Thanks for this informative review.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-18156701827214714762011-01-22T14:55:08.034+00:002011-01-22T14:55:08.034+00:00Um, toe curling - my kind of book.

But thanks for the warning abou the beginning - I could put it down, too, if I didn't know it would get better.<br />Thanks for the insightful, well done review.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-84170730343290105112011-01-22T08:57:20.292+00:002011-01-22T08:57:20.292+00:00Neither a book nor author I've come across, GC...Neither a book nor author I've come across, GC. Is this one that I could pass on to our teenage reading group, or is it written more with an adult audience in mind?Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16966461711132186974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-182642520216901583.post-89416438816959952222011-01-22T08:46:44.860+00:002011-01-22T08:46:44.860+00:00Thank you for reminding me of Neverwhere - I think...Thank you for reminding me of Neverwhere - I think that's a book I want to re-read; it's been many years and I can not remember all that much about it except for that it truly was a most delightful read.
