He does come off as a bit of an ass, even though I agree with him; Embassytown was an interesting book, just not a very good one. I haven't enjoyed a Miéville book since The Scar - The City and the City in particular was a somewhat unique setting married to blocks of wood for characters, a dull plot and prose that flowed like broken glass through a sieve.
Hull Zero Three read like a particularly dull and predictable screenplay.
I actually feel a little better now, I assumed I was alone in not really liking any of this year's Clark Award shortlisters.
