First of all, neutron stars and black holes are two different things.
Second, if you were instantly transported to the surface of a neutron star, you would be crushed by the excedingly high gravity, and would save the rest of us from your question.
Third, time would (for you) slow down as you approached the event horizon of a black hole. Then, whichever end you have pointed toward the black hole would start to be pulled apart, molecule by molecule, so eventually you'd look like a piece of spaghetti as you were pulled into the hole.

Neutron stars have emmense gravity. If, for instance, you weigh 150 lbs on Earth's surface, you would weigh 21,000,000,000,000 lbs on the surface of a neutron star. In short, if Scotty ever beams you down to a neutron star, you'd be crushed to nothing pretty much instantaneously. You wouldn't even know you'd ever been there.
If, however, you were to fall into a neutron star, you would strike the surface at about 150,000 km/s, about 1/2 of the velocity of light. The impact would have roughly the energy yield of a 200 megaton explosion (a power equivalent to four times the Tsar Bomba, the biggest nuclear weapon ever detonated). Again, this would result in your immediate death.
As interesting as they are, neutron stars are not good places to visit. I suggest saving up your money for a trip to low Earth orbit in about 10 years time. It's probably more fun to be weightless than to weigh 10.5 billion tons, ya know?

If you were near a neutron star, you would probably be vaporized by the amazingly intense heat in a matter of microscopically small moments.
If you were near a black hole, all of the matter in your body would be pulled towards the black hole, with the matter "in front" being pulled more extravagantly. Your body would be come stretched out. You wouldn't have time to see any of this, though, since you'd die instantly.

it may matter on the potential of the stress field. The Gravity of the situation could be very Grave, and the warmth could be rather heat. you are able to have not anybody to speak to so which you would be able to in all probability be bored, in case you propose to try this I wouild recommend you to take a woman or a "pastime Boy" , that way you are able to have 2 exciting toys to play with and you does no longer be bored. sturdy luck on your adventure

You would start as a very thin film of degenerate matter, and in the black hole you would be stripped apart v-e-r-y slowly.
When a star larger than our star, Sol dies it balloons into a red sun and collapses upon itself. Stars of this size are so massive that they don't shrink to the size of a dwarf star (our sun would) instead they form a Neutron Star. A Neutron Star is formed out of degenerate matter. In normal matter there is a lot of empty space similar to all the islands of the Florida Keys in the Gulf of Mexico. In degenerate matter the matter is collapsed to the point that the atoms are touching and broken down into subatomic particles. As the star continues to collapse then the atomic bond is strained too much by the gravity of the star. This creates a massively heavy star where normal elements cannot exist. A teaspoon of matter from a dwarf star would weigh that of a mountain, a teaspoon of matter from a Neutron Star could weigh as much as a medium size planet. If you fell into a Neutron Star you would drop like a huge rocket pointed downward from a mile up and then ignited. The impact on a Dark Star would be even greater. If you were instantaneously transported to the surface of a neutron star then your atoms would collapse. You wouldn’t shrink or collapse, the force of gravity is also instantaneous. Your very atoms would be broken into their components and pulled down to the surface of the star. The Neutron Star is so dense that the impact of your atoms on the surface of the star would be like the impact of soap bubble dropped on a sidewalk. You wouldn’t just disappear; you would be a thin film on surface of the star.
When the largest stars die they also balloon up into red giant suns and then start to collapse, when the reach the point of a Neutron Star though the gravity is strong enough to continue the collapse. At this point ALL the matter is condensed to a point, smaller than the smallest subatomic particle. Any matter falling into the black hole would soon suffer the same fate.
Falling into a Black Hole isn’t too bad. For a large part of your journey you are just going real fast without hitting anything, so fast that the stars would be long blurred streaks. When you got closer than you would be going so fast that it would be like comparing a supersonic jet going all out to an ant crawling on the ground. At this speed Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity would start to take hold; the theory states that as you approach the speed of light your mass would increase toward infinity, you dimension in the direction of travel would shrink toward nothing, and time would slow. The tidal forces have been working on your body from several light years away, but it is as such a weak strength you won’t notice it. As you approach the black hole then the tidal forces would be stronger. When you got close enough tidal forces would start trying to pull you apart, elongating you. The problem is that if you fell feet first then you feet would be traveling faster than you head. There is a limit to how much stress the human body can stand. As you get closer to the black hole then the tidal strain would start to pull you apart, and then it would pull those pieces apart and so on. At this point you would have the intense gravity of your feet (remember you become massive as you approach light speed), pulling on the intense gravitational force of your head. Your head would be pulling on everything in between and your feet would be as well. This is the tidal stress on the body. Also your feet would be moving faster than your head this creates the elongation effect, the spaghetti effect happens when the side dimensions shrink as the length dimension increases. Of course the human body isn’t infinitely deformable so at some point all these forces would pull you apart. Then as the smaller pieces generated tidal forces they would pull your pieces into smaller pieces and so on.
Tidal forces are what happen when two objects with a large gravitational force are near each other. They tug and pull at each other. The Earth is pretty solid stuff so it doesn’t flex much, but water is different. The water will actually try to leave the Earth creating the bulge that causes the tides. The gravitational power between the Earth and the Sun or the Earth and the Moon are pretty weak, but this isn’t true as you approach a black hole. As you get closer to a black hole the forces become strong enough to start to pull an object apart, from tidal forces generated in the object itself, even something as rigid as a diamond can’t stand the strain, but it can stand the strain longer than you can.
What happens next depends on the size of the black hole, but surely you won’t be alive to notice it. As you fall into the black hole you will be pulled apart. In a large black hole the gravity would have a stronger effect from a further range. In this case your sedate super speed fall would force you to cross enough distance that the tidal forces from the black hole would be able to pull you into pieces. You wouldn’t survive being pulled apart after a few sections are ripped off so you would be dead. If the black hole is smaller then you will be able to get closer to the black hole itself. As you get closer the speed of your travel over the distance moved might let you survive long enough to reach the Event Horizon. It is much more likely that you will be pulled apart first though. Black holes are all one size; zero. They are points of gravity so intense that they are only a point with no dimension. The Event Horizon can vary. There are theories of Black Holes, remaining from the big bang, these micro black holes can have black holes with only an inch of an Event Horizon, they can also have an Event Horizon larger than the biggest star. Most galaxies have a super massive black hole in the center, like the Milky Way Galaxy does. So I can’t say for sure if you will be alive to reach the Event Horizon, we haven’t found any of the micro black holes so the average black hole is large enough to kill you before you reach the Event Horizon.
Since time from your perspective is slowed the tearing apart will be a slow one. It won’t seem slow to you, but it will to the outside observer. Since your speed is so high then your mass will be greater, which means the tidal effects will pull you apart quicker. The elongation will be balanced by the shrinking of your length so this will also effect how soon or late your body will begin to break up. When falling into the average size black hole, of the ones that we can prove exist; the tidal forces will be strong enough to kill you long before you reach the Event Horizon. Only your pieces, continually ripped apart into smaller pieces, will fall into the black hole. Once these pieces get closer then they will be ripped down to the molecular level. Again this all depends on the size of the black hole. It is possible for your entire body to be broken into atomic and molecular pieces so you will never reach the black hole, at least nothing that could be recognized as you.
When you hit the Event Horizon then everything goes crazy. At this point the escape velocity of the black hole exceeds the speed of light. This can’t happen in the universe, as we understand it. If it did then the laws of the universe would fall apart. Gravity, friction, electricity, nuclear attractive forces; all of these will no longer work in any pattern that we could make sense of, they could even totally fail. So it is impossible to get any information from beyond the black hole’s Event Horizon. As far as the rest of the universe is concerned you would no longer exist.
But, the saga of your fall continues. At a certain point your immense speed will approach the speed of light and time will stop. So according to the laws of the universe you (or the pieces of you) will never reach the center of the black hole. However, the attractive power of gravity cannot be denied, and your speed would be increased beyond light speed. At that point anything can happen, time can move backwards, the Greek Gods could be dancing with the Norse Gods, water could flow uphill, literally anything could happen, and we can’t understand any of it. To try to understand or even observe what is going on would drive any observer insane. Luckily for us all Black Holes are decently surrounded by an Event Horizon.
The immense gravity of a Neutron Star would turn you into a film only a few atomic sub-particles thick. This would happen if you impacted it or if you were suddenly transported to the surface of the Neutron Star.
Falling into a black hole would kill you; with the average black hole the tidal forces would rip you into tiny pieces long before you ever reached the Event Horizon. Once you passed the Event Horizon it would be impossible to get any information back and even if we could it would be impossible to understand it. No one can tell you what is going on at this point, to do that would be impossible.
