A review by skylarkblue1
The Book of Elsewhere by China Miéville, Keanu Reeves
Did not finish book. Stopped at 6%.
Thank you Netgalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review!
This book is just not it. I can't tell you anything that has happened except really really poor writing and "action man being action man".
If you're on the fence about this, go to amazon and read the "look inside" bit. Just from page 1 you'll know if you're gonna like this book or not. It goes from an entire page of just the shortest sentences possible, and then the next page is a whole paragraph of a single sentence. The writing is very stilted and just very basic honestly.
I was going into this expecting "keanu reeeves self insert john wick fanfic but sci-fi" and I think that is there, but I just cannot get past this writing. Got told multiple times as well that the story just completely loses the plot so it's not even worth reading for that.
