Location: UK		That was my first Mieville. I wasnt familiar with him at all,so going by the blurb I was just expecting a great fun adventure/detective sort of book.Imagine how disconcerted I was when about two thirds through the book,he tossed aside a whole section of the plot,it turned out to be a sort of ''Maguffin'' and I was a bit bewildered to say the least. Since then I have read Embassytown and The City and the City,and this year have Un Lun Dun and Perdido Street Station on my TBR,and know to expect the unexpected,but at the time it was very strange! I still shudder over that mouth on the man's back....aarrgghh!
