Myke Bartlett has his own fascinating take on it. It's fun to dive deeper and deeper into his cosmic plot, to discover where all the conflict and action are coming from. This book has an incredibly wide canvas, sprawling all over several epochs of London and its surrounds. It has four fascinating main characters, and a memorable supporting cast. And the locales Myke describes come to life on their own. How do you make time trvel work in fiction, anyway? Myke Bartlett has his own fascinating take on it.

I liked that side of it a lot, what I did not really like was that I felt no real feelings towards any of the characters by 10 chapters in. I didnt seem to care too much what would happen to any of them. I also found that not knowing quite exactly what was going on by 10 chapters in was quite irritating. Afraid to say that at this point I reluctantly gave up and moved on to something else.... I am sure if I had carried on with it these things would have changed, but there was not quite enough to hold my interest.Though I expect I will come back to this one eventually as I do want to know what happens.

Myke Bartlett has created a story that is strange and epic in scope. The prose is both profound and easy to understand. I would like to give this book a rating of 25 stars if I could. this is one of THE BEST podiobooks I have listened to since I was introduced to the medium.

I love the way the story weaves in and out and events overlap. Myke Bartlett has one of the sexiest voices in podcasting and the talent of a great writer (not listed in order of importance ;). I also noticed some correlation in the foundation of HtDC and Neil Gaiman's novel Neverwhere but Myke took his story to places Neil never did. They were merely in neighboring zip codes. Regardless of the influence of other authors, this podiobook is a unique and imaginative work that deserves all of the praise it has received. I usually listen to podcasts while I'm at work doing the mindless stuff like filing and data entry. HtDC had me so engrossed I had my headphones on all day and I let the work I had to put thought into pile up so I wouldn't have to stop listening. (don't tell my boss). Myke, I'd like to read or listen to many more stories of yours, but take your time getting turning them out or I might just get sacked. This IS my favourite podcast.

Ive read most Gaiman works, And i can honestly say Ive enjoyed your work as much as his. American Gods is actully what filled the gap when I finished HtDC. Just finished listening to the My Chalk Outline, and Fantastic! My comments probably pushed out your link to it so here it is for others. http://kilbeysalmon.blogspot.com/ Thanks again for taking the time. Looking forward to the next adventure.

Was wondering if ppl had heard about/ seen 'Neverwhere' A tv show by Neil Gaiman in 1995 i believe. As close to a tv show/movie of HtDC i feel we will ever get. If you told the outline of one story to a person, and some chinese whispers along the way, you would have the overview for the other. More so was wondering if Myke yourself had seen this show, and was a fan of Gaiman. Great book, cant wait for second season or sequal, whatever you will.

Kilbey was frankly hilarious - not the run-of-the-mill hero, to say the least. What I liked best, though, was that even when Theo felt that she was adapting, the world found a way to one-up her. It was like a dare, to see who could out-nonchalant the other - if that makes sense. I loved the humor and the serious moments, because they were well-balanced and kept me interested.

Having the full novel on my iPod as part of my holiday 'reading' was excellent, and pacing it out so that I knew I'd get to the end just as I was about to come home was perfect. Congratulations Myke on the best podiobook I've come across so far. While I respect the commercial objectives of some of the local 'superstars', I can't help admiring your individuality and originality. The dark humour and the layering of background detail (often deliciously unexplained - what is the fiscal significance of a chalk stick, for example?) made this a deeply satisfying novel. I also enjoyed the music, particularly the eerie background soundtrack to the scene in the tube - a genuinely disturbing and effective soundscape. Loved it. Good luck with 'Electricity' - I shall be waiting for that one with bated breath. Like others I am glad I found this book after it had completed.

Yes quite an involved book- many twists and turns... Enjoyed this book quite a bit! One of my favorites by far. Narration is Excellent! And personally glad I found this book after it was complete- I listened to the whole thing in just a few days- would have gone mad waiting as long as many of you did- just too good to put down. Hopefully Myke will write more and share with us all again in the future... Wow! Yes quite an involved book- many twists and turns… Enjoyed this book quite a bit! One of my favorites by far.
