   Linnunradan käsikirja liftareille (tekijä: Douglas Adams) (souloftherose)

   souloftherose: Although Neverwhere and The Hitchhiker's Guide (THHG) are different genres (the first is urban fantasy, the second comic science-fiction) I felt there was a lot of similarity between the characters of Richard Mayhew (in Neverwhere) and Arthur Dent (in THHG). Both are a kind of everyman with whom the reader can identify and both embody a certain 'Britishness'. And they're both stonkingly good books by British authors.… (lisätietoja)

   Rivers of London (tekijä: Ben Aaronovitch) (riverwillow)

   riverwillow: Both 'Neverwhere' and 'Rivers of London' (US title 'Midnight Riot') evoke a magical fairy tale London which sometimes feels more authentic then any real life guide to the city.

8. 80
   Alice's adventures in Wonderland ; Through the looking-glass ; Alice's adventures under ground (tekijä: Lewis Carroll) (sturlington)

   sturlington: Neverwhere is a lot like a grown-up's Wonderland, and the two stories have a similar, surrealistic feel.

   Storm Front (tekijä: Jim Butcher) (Polenth)
10. 40
    Gloriana (tekijä: Michael Moorcock) (ed.pendragon)

    Jannes: For all your "supernatural secrets in the London underground"-needs.

12. 51
    Something from the Nightside (tekijä: Simon R. Green) (Phantasma)

    Phantasma: The nightside novels are a little darker, but if you like the ideas presented in Neverwhere, you'll most likely enjoy the Nightside (actually, I prefer the Nightside and it's gritty dark humor).

    The Secret History of Moscow (tekijä: Ekaterina Sedia) (elbakerone, parasolofdoom)
15. 20
    The Mysteries (tekijä: Lisa Tuttle) (ehines)

    ehines: Regular guy stumbles into the secret realm. In Neverwhere this secret realm is very much a London one; in the Mysteries it is decidedly an old Celtic one. Also Never where turns into a full-blown fantasy adventure, while the Mysteries stays mostly realistic.
