Not convinced by the protagonist, and I thought better of Mieville than to have the villain talk like he's in a Roger Moore Bond film. Can't wait to see where this is going though

Thomas Hardy was definitely the horniest Victorian novelist

These characters are all narcoleptics

You can tell this was written by an American who didn't do their research when she says that the characters travel "a block or two"... through Victorian London. I'm now picturing the setting as modern Chicago or Manhatten rather than the winding, noodling, unplanned labyrinth of Oliver Twist and Sherlock Holmes.

Is the whole fucking book like this?

Agatha Christie really loves to break the fourth wall

Does Steinbeck REALLY need to be this heavy-handed with the Genesis parallels?

I'm having trouble finding the spare time to read this! Over 100 pages in and it still seems to be going through the backstory :P
