It took me a while to get into this one, and found it pretty slow moving for about the first two thirds, but that final hundred and twenty or so pages was incredible. Mieville's writing is delicious and makes even the slow parts worth savouringAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-11198096238441204262010-11-28T22:23:03.079+00:002010-11-28T22:23:03.079+00:00The Scar is one of my favorite books of all time. ...The Scar is one of my favorite books of all time. I've read it maybe three times, and every time I don't want it to end. <br /><br />When friends ask where they should start with Mieville, I always recommend The Scar. Yes, it's sort of a sequel to PSS, but The Scar stands on it's own just fine.redheadhttp://littleredreviewer.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-65100976007974568212010-11-28T02:38:38.358+00:002010-11-28T02:38:38.358+00:00I'm reading the Perdido street station now and...I'm reading the Perdido street station now and enjoying it but kind of agree with you.<br /><br />I'll borrow my friend's copy of The Scar next.Michaelhttp://barronwilderness.squarespace.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-57665220317642267402010-11-27T01:40:43.454+00:002010-11-27T01:40:43.454+00:00Completely agree with you on The Scar and Perdido ...Completely agree with you on The Scar and Perdido Street Station. Even if you found PSS draggy, you should try The Scar.

His imagination in this book was incredible. He also tends to put a lot of the action off stage which actually makes it all the more intriguing. There are only so many times you can read about a sword fight before it starts to get old. You didn't mention the vampire character, The Brucolac, who I found really interesting. For me he had the best line in the entire book.Jeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-75051496190010396522010-11-26T22:16:40.574+00:002010-11-26T22:16:40.574+00:00Bought it today on your recommendation.
