Review title: Not Impressed
Product review: I read this book on the recommendation of a couple friends who had said that this is a new, exciting, and different experience. It was definitely different, I'll give them that. However, I found myself not caring about the characters and their motivations. They all seemed flat like cardboard cutouts. There were also several points in the story where events happened that seemed to have on reason for happening, and one of my main sticking points are the few Deus Ex Machina events that happen and pull the characters away from what they were doing. This all led up to an extremely disappointing ending in which a character does a complete 180 from what he had been built up to be throughout the novel.In short, this left me unfulfilled and nonplussed with China Meiville.
