100 word review: Un Lun Dun

When I bought this book I didn't realise that it was a children's book but that don't let it put you off! I absolutely love this book and it is definitely in my top ten. It is the most imaginative plot I have come across in years and reminds me of a darker and more serious Roald Dahl. It is also has fantastic illustrations by the author, China Mieville. This is his first children's book and it has made me really want to read his adult ones. Un Lun Dun is thoroughly entertaining and a breath of literary fresh air.
