Whoop! It's Friday again and I'm participating in this week's blog hop. It's an awesome initiative by the brilliant ParaJunkee and Alison Can Read.
So, the question this week is!
Q: Give us a sneak! What are you reading? Tell us about a fun or fail scene in your current read.
I'm currently reading Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. It's an interesting story so far, and straight up urban fantasy. It features a guy called Richard who was basically in the wrong place at the wrong time. He helps out a girl from 'London Below' (the magical city beneath London), and as a result suddenly stops existing in the real world. Because of that choice he's stuck and is forced to try and make a life in London Below. Him and a few others need to get to Islington to look for an angel.
So what do I think? Hmm... it reads like it's trying to be something it's not. That's a little frustrating. The good thing though, is that it is quite comical and does not take itself too seriously.
The jury is still out on this book though, and I wouldn't wanna write too much - otherwise I'd have nothing left to say in the actual review! Haha!
How to follow me?
I would love it if you could follow me in two ways (I know, I'm asking far too much). If you could follow me on GFC (if you can) as well as either BlogLovin or NetworkedBlogs I would appreciate it so, so much! Many thanks! [Just in case GOOGLE FRIEND CONNECT goes kaput]
This book looks kinda dark and gritty - well thats the vibe I'm getting from the cover anyway lol!

You know what? I've never read anything by Gaiman. He's like, the fantasy guru, or something? Yeah, I've never read anything by him. I should check out a book or two by him! I hope you enjoy this book :D
