Book Review of The City & the City

The City & the City
escapeartistk avatar reviewed on + 207 more book reviews


Such an interesting concept that never really comes to fruition (in terms of offering any kind of social or political analysis) perhaps because the differences between the two cities and the reason for their existence are never elaborated. As a police procedural it makes for a great story despite the fact that there's no climactic feel to the climax...Even with these disappointments, I still rate it "3.5" stars because the writing is very good and the story is engaging.
