The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoetby David Mitchell
I became a fan of Mitchell after I read his wildly inventive Cloud Atlas, so I was expecting literary pyrotechnics from his latest. The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, the sweeping story of the Dutch East Indies Company in Japan at the turn of the 19th century, reads like a combination of Patrick O'Brien's nautical historical fiction, the exoticism and passion of Shogun, and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" because of a creepy part of the plot.

The City & the City
by China Mieville
I think good Science Fiction uses an altered reality to reveal something

Mieville’s The City and the City is really great Sci-fi. It
begins feeling like a dark, well-written, noir-style mystery – a body
has been found in the city of Beszel, detective Borlu has been assigned
to investigate – but the story quickly takes a sci-fi turn... read the rest of Lillian's review.
