The Book of Elsewhere
The Book of Elsewhere: A Novel | China Miéville, Keanu Reeves
6 posts | 7 read | 2 to read
A mind-blowing epic from Keanu Reeves and China Miéville, unlike anything these two genre-bending pioneers have created before, inspired by the world of the BRZRKR comic books She said, We needed a tool. So I asked the gods. There have always been whispers. Legends. The warrior who cannot be killed. Who’s seen a thousand civilizations rise and fall. He has had many names: Unute, Child of Lightning, Death himself. These days, he’s known simply as “B.” And he wants to be able to die. In the present day, a U.S. black-ops group has promised him they can help with that. And all he needs to do is help them in return. But when an all-too-mortal soldier comes back to life, the impossible event ultimately points toward a force even more mysterious than B himself. One at least as strong. And one with a plan all its own. In a collaboration that combines Miéville’s singular style and creativity with Reeves’s haunting and soul-stirring narrative, these two inimitable artists have created something utterly unique, sure to delight existing fans and to create scores of new ones.

One might has to know more about the BRZRKR universe to truly get this story? I just went with the flow. There's some deep sh... going on, which I totally could not grasp. But it still kept me going. Maybe that was China Mieville's part of the story. Who knows? Don't read if you're not ready for weird stuff going on.

julesG You don't need to know the graphic novels, but it might help. 1w
Jari-chan @julesG Then I know at least that I wasn't missing something fundamental 😅 1w
julesG You're not missing info. On the contrary, Miéville added bits that weren't in the GN. 1w
Jari-chan @julesG Thank you for letting me know. 1w

Add me to the bailers! I gave this about 30% and it‘s just bizarre and confusing. There‘s an immortal pig involved. And yet really not much seems to be happening. I‘m all done. I still think you‘re great, Keanu.

CatLass007 Oh that is disappointing. Keanu seems like a great person, but I‘ve never cared for his acting. I still want to give this a try, but thank you for the warning. 3w
AlaMich I think Miéville is excellent and I simply can‘t imagine how Keanu Reeves could bring anything to that particular table. Not to slam KR, just that maybe he should stick to acting. (edited) 3w
Meshell1313 Couldn‘t agree more! 3w

#AboutABook Day 4: perhaps this one is #WithMystery - not very sure yet, but cover seems imbued with mystery. Sad to see so many litsy folks bail on this novel though. Any other thoughts on this collaboration between Mieville and Keanu Reeves, so far?

I'm sorry, Keanu, we just didn't vibe. I could not force myself to care. Bailed at 20%.

I think this is going to be a bail for now. I have had to backtrack so many times because of POV hopping, timeline hopping, and seemingly unrelated interludes.

I‘d like to try this again later, because I was really excited about it.

julesG Fits with my reading experience. I liked the Graphic Novels though. 2mo

I give up. Took me 11 days to get to 48%. The book is supposed to have 352pp, but I'm certain I've read more than 600pp already. I liked the GN, but I'm no fan of all the tangents, different POVs and endless dialogue (just an example, more than half a page of talking about how reinforced a particular door is - on my Kindle, with the font size setting on the smallest font possible).

This might be a good novel, but I don't have the patience.
