The Book of Elsewhere by China Miéville, Keanu Reeves

4.0

---

Miéville's writing style can be something of a barrier at the start. But if you sink into it, there are so many riches to be found. I didn't realize this tied in with BRZRKR (a comic series I wanted to read, but haven't yet) but it was intriguing getting the story in a different form. It took a bit to "get" what the different perspective shifts were doing. But in the end, I found the book intriguing in its mix of ultra-violent action and philosophical musings about what it means to be immortal. The perspective shifts do an interesting job of giving you some insight into what it'd be like to have lived as long as B has.
