Dav reviewed The Book of Elsewhere by China Miéville

5 stars
I was sent a pre-release of this book via NetGalley and the publisher.
In short, a very interesting Sci-Fi narrative picking apart the idea of immortality, as presented in the figure of Unute, the main protagonist. The core of the story takes place in a Government facility, but regular flashbacks and side narratives allow exploration of the character’s journey to this point.
It took a minute to get into, probably as a result of the comic-book approach to scenes (one panel at a time), but both the writing style and the idea for the story are superb. I would heartily recommend.
