ok this book was boring. i only read it because i was stuck in the middle of the woods with very few books to choose from and no tv.
I thought he did an excellent, well-thought out presentation of why he is an agnostic. I learned a great deal from him. Well worth reading.
I'd tried previously to read another book by Mieville and abandoned it, so it counts for something that I made it through this book-- and for large parts of it, even, I really enjoyed it. The conceit is really smart and fun, and I mostly like the way that it is introduced to us, piece by piece. The mechanics of the world, especially in the early chapters when things are still unclear, is fascinating. But I think the book kind of loses steam as it goes-- to me, it started to slip when we got to Ul Quom, or whatever it's called, in the book's second half. There, what had been a pleasingly bent procedural becomes more of a conspiracy thriller, which is a genre I think I like less, and one which here seems a little out of place, since the stakes for readers are so low-- this isn't our world, nor is this a book likely to produce a sequel, so why invest in its makeup? Instead, the stakes shift for readers into metafictional territory, where the slip and slide of breach comes to be about genre, or at least that's the way I read it, but that's pretty anemic stuff. I'm being a lot harsher than I really felt about this-- I liked it, but at a certain point I kind of feel like it went off the rails a bit; the characters in the second half, starting with the lead detective there and going pretty much all the way down are just less fresh or realized than those in the first half of the book. And the mechanics of the world ultimately were less interesting than I'd hoped. It's not as good as Home Fires by Gene Wolfe, or Lethem's Gun, With Occasional Music, two transcendent cross-genre sci-fi tales. Still, I'd read something else by Mieville, so not all is lost.

I wish I could give this more stars but because of the unnecessary sexual parts and intermitant strong language I barely gave it 3. I have read more recent books by this author and had hoped his earlier ones would have less distasteful parts, but I was wrong.
One of the classics that I never got round to reading, finally read due to the freeness on Kindle so can't complain. I mean , obviously I knew the story - who doesn't but I didn't know it was written in diary & letter style - although some of the diary entries are a little too conversationalist. It was also interesting to see how the fragility of women and the strength of man was played upon - a real glimpse into the time period perhaps? I work on Piccadilly and I wonder whether I can find the house that Dracula bought? There is one shabby looking Mansion that has that closed, run down look of neglect and despair.... I wonder.....
Read this when I was in hs and loved it! Fun & scary!

Often unwieldy and hard-to-read, though Tolkien seems to get a jail-out-of-free card on that front, it is quite good. You really do have to work hard to get to the gems of the story but it is worth it to flesh out the world of Middle Earth.

Kind of pretentious at times but still very beautifully written, and probably a very accurate account of the world of Geishas, from what I can tell.
Ayn Rand makes you re-think your values, or at least give you a different perspective, a look at life in a different way.
