Hannah asked this question about Perdido Street Station (New Crobuzon, #1):
Ok, so I'm very early in the book, but so far I have come across the bartender who slit his mouth, and Sil in his bucket of filth. Generally I can handle a bit of queasyness, but with these two instances in such quick succession I'm not sure if I can handle too much. So, alreadyfinishedpeople, should I continue if queasyness isn't for me?
Michael Sintros It's a pretty visceral book. There is a fair amount of violence, reference to torture and body modification, disturbing anatomical descriptions, etc. …moreIt's a pretty visceral book. There is a fair amount of violence, reference to torture and body modification, disturbing anatomical descriptions, etc. I would *not* recommend this to anyone who's squeamish. (less)
