In response to "Ty, Neverwhere is one of my favorite books ever but if you've tried twice, I probably can't get you to take another run at it." by David

Out of curiosity, did you and ty read the version released in Britain or the version released in the US?

The British version has about 8000 words less than the US version.

I've read both and prefer the US version. Better descriptions of places for those not very familiar with London, for the most part.

Mine was from B&N or Amazon I'm sure -- nm - ty97 Oct 24, 12:39 1
- Then you got the US version, so a second read probably wouldn't improve your opinion of the book. :-) - TWuG Oct 24, 12:41
I got it at B Dalton back in the day so I presume the US version. -- nm - David Oct 24, 12:33 1
- Probably. Big tell is if it had the words "tyre" and "kerb", that'd be the British version. :-) -- nm - TWuG Oct 24, 12:35
I got the UK version. read on on the tube. :) -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 12:32 1
- That's the version on my shelf. I lent out the US version and never got it back. -- nm - TWuG Oct 24, 12:33
