The Book of Elsewhere by China MiƩville, Keanu Reeves
4.0

I had to buy this immediately because Keanu. For those not familiar with China, his writing style and genre is "weird" and his odd turns of phrase and quirky vocabulary are part of the journey. This one is a bit of a slog in the beginning. If you are not already familiar with the BRZRKR character, it takes a beat to figure out what the heck is going on, but once you get the patterns of the shifting point of view and timeline, it won't feel like such an uphill battle. It's wonderfully complex and human and fantastical.
