喜欢 Kraken 的读者还喜欢

就在我觉得故事开始无聊的时候，男二威武地英雄救美了废柴男一，还顺便调戏了人家。我说，作者你还能好了么？哈哈哈。Billy 你就从了Dane吧。

China Mieville is back in full form after 'The City and the City' (which I enjoyed, but found disappointing compared to his other books). 'Kraken' brings some of the skin-crawling conceits of Mieville's Bas-Lag novels -- the Remade, in particular -- to the more familiar context of contemporary London, and the interplay between the familiar and the otherworldly is riveting. There are shortcomings -- subplots and twists that could have been better fleshed out -- and it isn't a Bas-Lag novel, but 'Kraken' is still one of the most enjoyable things I've read recently.

Amazing
