What annoys me is the fact that you talk about things you know so little about and then shine up your uneducated opinions with good writing.

Drum and Bass is mechanical, yes but there is much more to it. But I’m not writing to tell you this. That is something you might realize for your self one day.
China Mieville talks about Drum and Bass because it is something he is passionate about and I don’t think someone doing an objective review should have anything to say about it.
Anyway, worst review I have ever read… good writing, just too personal.

[...] modern setting gets my geek senses tingling, even though I didn’t like the way it was done in King Rat, and even The Book of Lost Things didn’t completely satisfy [...]

Hello, Trudi. Nice of you to visit. =)

I had intended to read Perdido Street Station, but I do like to read a writer’s work chronologically, so I picked up King Rat instead. It was very very disappointing, so much so that I’m kind of discouraged from reading Perdido Street Station. Is it worth picking up despite the awfulness that is King Rat?

Ahem. Reviews, even. That’s what I get for looking away from the screen while typing

It’s nice to read an honest review of this book. While I don’t deny that Mieville is a skilled writer, I often doubt reveiws of his later works, as most come with the taint of “But he wrote Perdido Street Station, so this must be brilliant” myopia.
