The Book of Elsewhere by China Miéville, Keanu Reeves
3.0
Thanks to NetGalley and Random House/Del Rey for the complimentary digital ARC.
I honestly requested this book when I learned Keanu Reeves was the author. Even though I enjoy science fiction, I do not typically read military thrillers and I'm not familiar with the BRZRKR series. I'm typically drawn to stories with various POV characters and flashbacks or multiple timelines but I almost DNF. I lost interest during the second-person sections in the beginning but decided to stick with it after Diana was introduced. I got some Altered Carbon and Witcher vibes from B. As other reviewers have said, this is not a quick and easy read having to contend with the cerebral elements. I'm glad I finished it and kind of wish I had picked up one of the $100 autographed copies at SDCC. I would check out the film/TV version if this ever gets adapted.
