Book Review of The City & The City

The City & The City
njmom3 avatar reviewed on + 1361 more book reviews


The setting of this book is the star of The City & The City by China Miéville. Two cities appear to occupy the same physical space but are very separate in language, culture, and politics. Between them lies a border - a real, imagined, or perceived boundary that both sides work diligently to maintain. On the face of it, the book is a crime novel with its police investigations and procedures. Underneath is a weird, imaginative, and memorable fantasy world.
