Embassytown is miles and miles above DVC in terms of quality. Jessie Send a noteboard - 15/05/2011 02:29:04 AM
If you post a review of it on here, I'll send you a cookie.

The UK newspapers have their reviews up, and most of them seems to decline the theme "China Miéville fulfills the promises of his early novels and finally comes into his own with a masterpiece that not only is genuine and excellent science-fiction but stands to get him mainstream literary recognition". One said it's as intelligent and sophisticated as an Umberto Eco novel.

That sounds most promising...


That is what one of the blurbs said about Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code as well. I have developed a flight response when faced with Eco comparisons.

when you see only the darkness, know the light will soon return
