Delicious. I want to savor each word. I find I've been rereading each page as I go; I am going to be reading this book forever. First impressions: Miéville is like Harlan Ellison--horrific, grueling, unrelenting--but with restraint and patience. Ellison would have crammed this into ten or twenty pages; Miéville makes it last.
