juliec25 's review for:
The Book of Elsewhere
by China Miéville, Keanu Reeves
(Disclaimer: I'm not familiar at all with the comics, which I understand are getting a Netflix adaptation)
Really riveting until perhaps the last 30 pages. The font variations bring something very interesting to this pluri-vocal narrative. I genuinely liked the characters. Of course, this is screaming for a movie adaptation with Keanu Reeves playing the main character, 'B'. Perhaps the authors could have tried to be more subtle about it... Disappointingly, I felt let down by the resolution, although I'm struggling to put my finger on the issue. Was it too quick? Trying to cram in too much explaining right at the end, and failing to convince? Let's just say that the execution felt wonky. The Book Of Elsewhere was nonetheless a very pleasurable read, and I would recommend the curious reader to give it a go.
