The Book of Elsewhere

TITLE: THE BOOK OF ELSEWHERE

AUTHOR: KEANU REEVES & CHINA MIÉVILLE

PUBLISH DATE:  JULY 2024

Thank you to Del Ray and Penguin Random House for this advanced copy. 

I don’t read a lot of fantasy. But, the book cover is cool and so are Keanu’s movies, so I gave it a go. 

I didn’t understand a word of it. And that’s not a bad thing. I don’t necessarily need to understand everything I’m reading in order to enjoy it. And this is one of those books that even if I didn’t know what was going on, I still wanted to know what was going on. From what I understand (with help from the plot summary) on the publisher’s website, it’s about an immortal warrior who just wants to die. 

This gets my vote for originality. I’ll be picking up a copy when it launches and I’ll save it for fifty years from now when someone will be able to understand what it means.
