Review title: SO VERY GOOD!
Product review: I read "The Scar" first, was swept off my feet, and feared "Perdido Street" would not match it. It did. In fact, it is hard to believe two books set in the same imagined world can be so different. And yet at the same time they share a common substrate, which I imagine springs from Trotzky's vision of society. I was swept wildly away with "The Scar" but in "Perdido" I felt strangely at home in the tortured London which lurks in the details of "New Crobuzon". The slang is (or was in my day) much the same as in London, as is the fondness for pubs and beer, and the peculiar twisted affection of residents for their own neighborhoods. It will take a long time before I am able to size up the two books in a dispassionate way, yet there is no doubt in my mind that they both rank equally high in the stratosphere of Science Fiction. Next to "Iron Council".
