“What a joy to read. It feels great to explore a unique world other than ours. Un Lun Dun is an epic book that can't be likened to any other. ”

One really wonderful book i think everyone should read. A fiction story by China Meville. This book is full of adventure and excitement, with very interesting categories and things in it. I recommend this book to boys and girls, though it is very hard to find in normal bookstores.
This book is about Zanna in London with her friend Deeba. Zanna was prophesized as the hero of Un Lun Dun, saving the uncity from the villan Smog. He decides to rule the world, but Zanna is trying to save them all, with the help of Deeba. Binjas are my favorite characters in this book, because they are just really cool. A really bid twist in the book makes you suprised at the ending, and wondering.
A must read book for all ages.”
“It was ok but I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped - shame because I love fantasy. It reminded me a bit of A Tale of Time City by Diana Wynne Jones, and China Mieville does acknowledge a debt to this writer...Terrific imagination, and I can see why people like it so much but it didn't do anything for me. ”

“This is a wonderful book about real opposite worlds rather like 'Neverwhere' by Neil Gaiman.”

“Very engaging and fantastic. I loved how everything was just on the edge of normal and not. Very beautifully done. Definitely not just for children.”

“This book is so wonderful. Aside from being frighteningly creative and shocking, China Mieville's wild tale of underground cities beneath cities makes me wonder what's hiding under my own town, and what object originally belonged to Un Memphis. While slightly on the scary side with it's detailed illustrations of evil giraffes and windows resembling soul-sucking spiders, this book is an amazing read, especially if you're wondering about that bump in the night.”
