simonator 's review for:

The City & The City by China Miéville
3.25
adventurous tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Cool premise, nice world-building, satisfying plot development. 
Somehow, Mieville's writing is a log to follow sometimes... the minutiae of events is tiring. The characters remain fair faceless.
