Un Lun Dun by China Miéville
2.0
Ugh this book. It felt like a less creative knockoff of Neverwhere, which-unfortunately for Mieville-is one of my favorite books. Did I read the whole thing? Yes, because I was about halfway through when I began to wonder if I was even liking it and decided I should finish. But did I enjoy it? Not really.
I will give the author credit-i like the idea of UnLondon and other abcities existing just outside our reality. I loved the Wordhoard Pit and climbing the bookcase into UnLondon. I liked Hemi and Deeba's relationship. But overall, it felt like it needed some editing.
