I've been reluctant to read it for two reasons. Firstly, because the Dune continuation books, written by Frank Herbert's son and A.N. Other, were total shite. Secondly because I was at school with Nick Harkaway, back when he was plain old Nick Cornwall, and I generally found him quite annoying. I guess I'll just have to get over the second reason. It didn't stop me from really enjoying China Miéville's The City & The City, when I had similar reservations.

I am loving it. Dense, intricate plot like classic Le Carre, and really beautifully constructed sentences. I find myself going back over them just for pleasure.
