mariareadssff 's review for:
The Book of Elsewhere
by China Miéville, Keanu Reeves
DID NOT FINISH
My thanks to Random House UK, Cornerstone and NetGalley for a free DRC of "The Book of Elsewhere" by Keanu Reeves and China Miéville.
As someone who loved some works by China Miéville I was excited about this collaboration.
Not only is the narrative confusing, grim and violent, but the dialog sounded so pretentious in many occasions. No matter how many notes I took, or how hard I tried to see the story in a better light, it just gave me a depressing feel.
Maybe fans of Grimdark Fantasy will love this work, but unfortunately it did not work for me.
