Dear Mr. Mieville,
I don't why I couldn't finish this book, maybe because I'm reading it at the wrong time, you know how that is, don't you?
I loved [b:The City & The City|4703581|The City & The City|China Miéville|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266894982s/4703581.jpg|4767909]. I think that book is one of the greatest books ever.
This one, not so much. It started at really well. I think Collingwood is wonderful. I like her pig thingy. All the references were cool.
Sadly, I can't bring myself to really care what happens. Everything seems to slow down, like you are trying to impress and forgetting the soul. I know it doesn't make sense, but I don't know how else to describe it. I don't feel for any of the characters really, and I don't really get an overwhelming sense of danger for any of the main ones.
So, can we chalk this one up to a miss, and still agree to get along?
Thank you,
Chris
