I started this audiobook today and listened to about ten minutes before I made myself stop. My not finishing this book says absolutely nothing about the story; I <i>love</i> Miéville so much. I think his writing is wonderful and he makes some very impressive political moves. His stories are always so strange and creative, he is an excellent voice in the new Weird Fiction genre. 

But if I read this book, I would be breaking my own rules, which are not to read revisionist historical fiction about WWII by non-Jews. I don't read books about the camps by non-Jews, I don't read book about hiding Jews by non-Jews, and I don't read books about alternate history where the Nazis keep going. 
I have no idea what the Jewish characters, if there are any, look like in this book. But stories like this make me very uncomfortable because they're in the genre of "you would be dead here." 
If I were to trust anyone to handle this, Miéville is top of my list. If any of my fellow Jewish readers <i>have</i> read this book, then I'd love some swaying arguments as to whether I should give it a real go. 

This isn't a permanent, "I hated this" DNF so much as one on principle.
