I've just bought this book and am looking forward to giving it a try if I can crowbar myself away from my PC for a while. Great reviews on the cover blurbs, including this one from Mike:
'Mieville is one of those few writers helping reinvent a form and reviving a sense of wonder you might have thought you'd lost'
I like that quote because I feel just like that these days and need my sense of wonder re-awakened.
Also there's this quote from M John Harrison: 'No one out-trades China Mieville at the bazaar of the bizarre.' I liked this because of its comparison with one of my favourite of Leiber's famous F & GM storys.
Anyone want to chip in a few words about this book or author? No spoilers if poss
