I was really excited to read October, and I gave it the old college try, but I had to give up about 100 pages in. It's just not a compelling narrative in Mieville's hands. There are hundreds of principal characters, introduced briefly and often discarded immediately, but the book reads like research notes that need to be included to justify the effort expended to acquire them. There's probably a good book in here somewhere, but I don't have the patience to sort through it.
