saratheterra 's review for:
The Book of Elsewhere
by China Miéville, Keanu Reeves
I wasn’t sure what to expect with a ghost writer attached to a movie stars book. It could have been very bad, like some other ones out there but this was a surprise.
I know it’s not for everyone but I love the deep world building dialogue that doesn’t hold your hand and tell you what is happening right away. I love being lost and bewildered where a story is going and picking up all the pieces on the way. It reminded my first time reading William Gibson and being thrown into a world where you have to accept you are just along for the ride.
There are times where the dialogue gets a little circly and muddled but there also times where the prose are beautiful and long winded in a good way.
This is unique and fun sci-fi.
