A review by davidaolson
Perdido Street Station by China Miéville

1.0

DNF. China needs an editor wit ha spine to tell him when he's overwritten. The simple act of going to the grocery store to get some fruit takes up 4 pages, because he has to describe every single thing. I'm sure other people would find his endless descriptions of the grotesqueries fascinating. I got the idea pretty quick (Everything is grotesque), and didn't need to be beat over the head with it.

Why aren't I describing the plot? Because I only made it to page 100 and there didn't really seem to be much plot by that point.
