The City and the City

1 person find this helpful

What can I say? A very enjoyable read, accessible, but with some truly novel ideas. I thoroughly enjoyed the mix of Chandler-esque detective fiction and spooky metaphysical weirdness. Add to that a real sense of place and this is one trip to a pair of fantasy cities you won't forget.

This book sometimes suffers a bit from style over substance. Although a nice change from regular business books, the graphic design comes across as too eager to look trendy, and many of the illustrations aren't as illuminating as they first seem. Also, the tone of voice occasionally annoyed me with its love for buzzwords. Finally, in all honesty, it gets a bit boring and too shallow towards the end. However, the book did provide me with a useful framework for thinking about my own business and that of my clients, which was exactly why I decided to purchase it. I would say the case studies and examples are the book's strong point. While reading this book, I got a few ideas that I might act on in the near future.
