Unusual and original

A relatively slow starter that somehow gets hold of you so you have to keep reading until the whole story has been unravelled. Although it dips into different genres I would class it as a dark thriller with a futuristic feel, almost set in the here and now, but not quite. The strange names of the city's districts were more than a little surreal and the fact that armed police were the norm added to the futeristic vibes. There was also a mythical air to the story which seemed accentuated by the almost gladiator style annual boxing event in the city. Along with the bad cops and mafia style underworld who always seemed to be one step ahead it made for a very unusual yet strangely compelling novel.
