Why read it?

1 author picked The Book of Elsewhere as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The whole book suddenly clicked and I realized how great it was. This delayed reaction often happens to me with China Mieville's work. But because this one was based in a comic book character that I wasn't familiar with, I think reading it was a bit harder. But now I really want to read it again. I think I'm going to.
