The cover is the only redeeming quality of this colossal novel. It’s utterly boring and predictable from beginning to end. I’m almost certain King wrote this one while sleeping.

Best use of the medium I've seen in a while

Nicely written, but overall cliche and not very interesting as a detective. Why then I couldn't put this book down?

Best of Mieville so far. The police procedural plot is predictable, but the concept of divided city is one of the best ideas I've ever read in sci-fi. Scale of Mieville's imagination is a bit scary sometimes.

Very bad writing; no idea how this got nominated for both Nebula and Hugo
