After reading six hundred pages of the second
George R.R. Martin novel,
A Clash of Kings, I have given up-- and while I admit that the plot is awesome and epic, I need a few adjectives when I am reading a novel . . . a little bit of style, and so instead I am wading through China Mieville's densely described genre-bending
Perdido Street Station, a tale of bestial love in the city that is a veritable bestiary, New Crobuzon, and though the
book has a map at the start, you don't need it . . . you can just groove on the freaky descriptions.
