Transistor Rhythm posted:Kraken is the only thing by CM that I haven't read because I hear it's so terrible. Why is it so bad? I really liked it, but I remember when it came out it got criticized because it's fairly fluffy and light. It's been a few years since I've read it but if I'm remembering it correctly it's really more of a fun comedic adventure story than his normal stuff. It doesn't have the unsettling creepy vibe most of his books have, and there isn't really a strong underlying social message. If you think you won't get annoyed at stuff like Chaos Nazis and weird Star Trek shut-in ghosts, give it a shot.

I think I'm just going to reread all of his work in order of publication after I finish my reread of Looking for Jake.

Kurtofan posted:Is King Rat really not worth reading? It's not TERRIBLE. If you want to read all of Mieville's work (like I did) it's worth getting just to read it. It's definitely his weakest book, in my opinion, and a lot of the super weird stuff he's famous for isn't really present, but it's still a serviceable story. I don't regret reading it when I did, but I probably won't read it again.
