maggieb66 's review for:
Perdido Street Station
by China Miéville
The writing, while as bloated as some of the characters, paints a distinct visual setting for an environment in which you experience race, culture, socioeconomic, mafia, crime, "science" and other conundrums.
This felt a bit like an everything bagel topped with every possible cream cheese or a garbage plate. What this book needed was a few less elements so that the key items could breath and develop or needed to be a series of smaller books to explore the characters in the depth that he explores the setting.
