“If you’re brave enough to try, you might be able to catch a train…” — Un Lun Dun 📚 log(book)

I'm currently behind on reviews, so don't be surprised if the recent reviews are a bit sparse.

If you’re brave enough to try, you might be able to catch a train from UnLondon to Parisn’t, or No York, or Helsunki, or Lost Angeles, or Sans Francisco, or Hong Gone, or Romeless…

★★★★☆

Exactly how you'd imagine a magical London YA novel by China Mieville to turn out: appropriately wonderful weird worldbuilding, good enough story arc. Above average amount of painful puns. Plus, and this is something you might not think, actually suited for kids. I wasn't sure Mieville would reign in his weirder tendencies.
