Bestselling author Miville returns to his roots in this exciting, no-holds-barred fantasy set in modern-day London. Crowds throng to the British Museum to see the dead Kraken, a giant squid. When it goes missing, a breathless search for the monster leads to strange, magical criminals, and mythical cults.

评分China Mieville is back in full form after 'The City and the City' (which I enjoyed, but found disappointing compared to his other books). 'Kraken' brings some of the skin-crawling conceits of Mieville's Bas-Lag novels -- the Remade, in particular -- to the more familiar context of contemporary London, and the interplay between the familiar and the otherworldly is riveting. There are shortcomings -- subplots and twists that could have been better fleshed out -- and it isn't a Bas-Lag novel, but 'Kraken' is still one of the most enjoyable things I've read recently.
