A review by imlfox
Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch

Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.
This book is for white men. It was vaguely misogynistic and the narrator is unlikeable. Stopped at the point when two white police officers decided not to record a full witness statement from someone who’s just committed an assault because “someone might try and claim it was a racially motivated crime”. This was because what she said indicated that it was probably a racially motivated crime. Suggestion was this was just good common sense. Main character is creepy to his female coworker, thinks about sleeping with her constantly and gets an erection while hugging her after witnessing a traumatic family annihilation. She is “polite enough not to mention it”. This book was recommended to me by two white male friends. 0 stars just don’t.
