>>	Anonymous Sun May 22 15:07:02 2022 No.20405592 >>20405376 Is this the book with a talking female insectoid? If so, it was that idea alone that made me stop reading it. It seemed typical teenage fiction.

>>	Anonymous Sun May 22 15:39:29 2022 No.20405712 >>20405690 Nah, I'm sure there was a female insectoid beetle in it. I liked his writing style, but the idea annoyed me - it seemed ill-placed. Saying that, I only managed a few chapters so perhaps the story redeems itself.

>>	Anonymous Sun May 22 16:54:17 2022 No.20405965 >>20405592 A talking female insectoid that dates a nigger. Mieville is a bigger faggot than gayman Morrison and Moor combined. He has obviously and unironically raped women.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 23 05:52:22 2022 No.20408659 A cool idea executed poorly, just like everything else he has written

>>	Anonymous Mon May 23 09:07:22 2022 No.20409155 >>20408659 This.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 23 11:19:38 2022 No.20409600 >>20408572 But then I would actually have to read the book, and I don't even want to do that lol

>>	Anonymous Mon May 23 11:24:49 2022 No.20409618 >>20405592 I also stopped reading when I got to that, and it wasn't that far in. Like the third page if I recall correctly.
