| Re: The Scar
It's been a few years since I read The Scar, but it has stood as my all-time favorite book since I did, knocking Geek Love from that perch. I just thought it was pretty much perfect. Unlike many people, I loved the ending. I thought it was great. The thing for me is that I can't stand endings that wrap things up neatly or explain everything. I find them contrived and unrealistic. I think Mieville's endings are so much better than most.
Iron Council was a slight let down, though I still liked it a lot, and Un Lun Dun restored Mieville in my mind as the best young writer out there. I look forward to following his career and reading anything he puts out. |
