review 1: I give this book 4 stars solely for the authors talent and imagination in his descriptions and creation of this alternate world. This, however, is not a book for me. I do believe that are readers, students who would love to dive into this story, but I was not able to finish it. Although, it did kind of remind me of various adventure, science-fiction movies. Thus, I think this is one of those books that would make a great movie for me to watch, but not a novel to read because there were so many details of plot setting to get past in order to actually read any action.
review 2: A wonderful book, from a grand opening that prepares you for an epic adventure through to exploring the great mysteries of the world, this book is masterfully composed. Miéville's Railsea
... more is my favourite of his books so far. The world that has been created and the characters that fill it are rich and rounded. This was an absolute pleasure to read and every now and again, my fingers itch to pick it up once again. One day, I hope to. less

Loved this. Suffers a bit from his typical rushed endings. Lovely language throughout.
