A Brain-Twister of a Book

I really enjoyed this book and the 4-part series made from it.
I watched the first two episode of the BritBox 4 part series of the book before reading it. Trying to make sense of the plot and the idea of two cities in one city was challenging. Once I began reading the book, the film series became clearer, although the filmed version added a plot line that did not exist in the book.
This book is not for everyone. It is science fiction but set in Eastern Europe somewhere in the present.
I originally thought of it as Schrodinger's Cat on film - but a friend with more knowledge of quantum physics suggested Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle was more applicable.
Nevertheless, each of the 4 parts of the film series reflects the 4 "locations": Beszel, UlQoma, Breech, Orciny. It is described on Wikipedia as combining "weird fiction with the police procedural."
I recommend watching the first two episodes before reading the book - as it sets your brain in motion and gives you visuals that help to understand the book and the characters.
The film features lots of flash forwards and backwards - it helps that the main police character didn't have a beard when the film flashes back and does have a beard in the present.
I'm sure there are many reviews going into great detail about the book - maybe read them afterwards because the mystery is the message...

But in the best way possible

I first found out about this book after listening to a lecture hosted by Keith Mitnick (Taubman College). He introduced the topic by discussing the general theme of this book and the idea of "seeing and unseeing" as a means of understanding space as well as neighboring architectural forms from different eras or topologies. Just from his description of the book's premise, I knew I wanted to read it.
To start, this book is BONKERS. But in the best way possible. Admittedly, I found the beginning to be tough to get through simply because Mieville's writing is something I wasn't used to reading; at times it feels very sporadic and seems to "jump around" a lot without much exposition, but after a while I realized that I actually enjoy it that way, things seem more "fast-paced" which fits well with the story itself. It gets really interesting once he starts to describe "Breach" and the way the characters "unsee" the neighboring city. [MILD SPOILER] these details don't get "explained" until some chapters into the book, but I felt that this helped set the tone earlier on by making the character's actions that more intriguing; I kept reading because I wanted to better understand their strange behaviors and "see" the picture that Mieville was creating.
I love the concept (I haven't seen or read other stories like it), and the characters are believable and entertaining. If anyone has other suggestions for books like this please let me know, but in the meantime I would recommend this to anyone interested in more speculative fiction.

I guess I was expecting a lot more from this book. It wasn't bad but as not exciting until almost the end. I can see how a lot of people would give up or be bored by this book though. There are a lot of descriptions of the cities and of the people from each one. I think though he had to do that or I don't think anyone would really be able to understand how a city can be in a city and the people who live there can tell the difference between the two. Anyways it was a very interesting premise but the story just wasn't fast paced or interesting enough for me. I think it could have been better. For a type of detective novel with a bit of a weirdness of the city thrown in it was just ok. I think it may have been better if the third place. existed and there was a more hinting story there.
