Review: China Miéville’s This Census-Taker

From what I’ve read of China Miéville, I honestly think he likes to mess with us. He’ll confuse us, disturb us, and generally toy with us, promising things that he has no intention of delivering. And his writing is so good we’ll just take it and ask for more. Click the jump for a review

Review: The Night Parade
