Last year, Neil Gaiman’s publisher offered American Gods for free online. Well, they’re at it again, and this time you can actually download the novel as a PDF. The book is Neverwhere, a fantastic modern fairy tale. The download is still time limited—it will self-destruct in 30 days.
Generally, I’m not a fan of on-screen reading. There’s just something about the feel of holding paper that can’t be replicated. Of course, I say this never having seen a Kindle. Anyway, I don’t see this as a chance to read the whole book, but rather a chance to see if you like Neverwhere. If you do, go to your local bookshop or library and check out that and his other work. You won’t be sorry.
