China Mieville is known for his "out there" concepts and this is no different. This is loosely inspired by Moby Dick, only they are hunting a giant yellow mole on a train on a post-apocalyptic Earth. I think this was his attempt at a YA novel because it's much easier to understand than usual and stays fairly vanilla when it comes to violence and such. I enjoyed it, not my favorite but worth the read.
