October: The Story of the Russian Revolution by China Miéville

3.0

Okay. Helpful to have a straightforward narrative account of 2017 but I would have liked a bit more analysis I guess? He doesn't really deviate from the chronology all that much, there is a blizzard of names and institutions but not all that much characterization, and the prose is not particularly sparkling.
