pickExceptionally 90s punk magic realism with drum and bass as a key thread. The early magic police procedural subplot vanishes near the end. I struggled at first as one character is so obnoxious, but then it became compelling.

I've been working a lot the last few weeks and haven't had much time for reading so I decided that the best way to start my Saturday was breakfast and a book. I'm about halfway through this one and so far it's a fun and weird book. I'm looking forward to spending some time on it over the weekend.

I picked this up at the local bookstore today and thought I'd start it tonight. I've read several books by China Meiville before but never this one. I've heard it compared to Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, which I loved. I have high hopes for this one.

Saul not only finds out that his father is King of the rats and that he has rat powers, he also learns that the arch nemesis of the rats, the Pied Piper, is gunning for him.
I will always associate this book with London because I started it on the flight back home from Heathrow airport, and kept thinking "Hey, I was just there!" as I read.
Saul finds out that, now that his father is dead, he has inherited rat powers and rules the kingdom of the rats under London. He must team up with the King of Birds and the King of Spiders to take down the evil (not joking here) Pied Piper. #LondonCalling #RockinMay
so-soI keep hearing people comparing this favorably with Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. My take; if you want a Miéville Neverwhere dupe, then Un Lun Dun is a better choice by far. Despite it being geared towards a younger audience.
Enjoying my Book 2 for the #Olympicbookchallenge in the sun with my dog, Jess, who makes a great page holder. 😂 @TheSpinecrackersBookClub @Litsy
