Anyone seen The City And The City? Probably won’t get a chance for a while and wondered if it was any good. Loved the book, so apprehensive about a televisation.

I'm also intrigued as to how this can be produced for TV. The book was staggeringly good. China Mieville can be incredible. Perdido St Station is as good a piece of imaginative writing as Gormenghast, IMO.

(He can also write stinkers, à la Kraken and that one about trains)

City and the City is the best of his I’ve read so far (but I’ve only read that, perdido st station and currently half way through the scar) - that chase scene was a triumph.
