Review: Embassytown by China Mieville

Embassytown by China Mieville.
If you are in the mood for deeply inscrutable aliens, a meditation on the essence of language, and a suspenseful catastrophe, look no further than deep space.  I actually got the audio book, and it was quite a gripping tale.  The only complaint is that the narrator was British.. and the stilted style got really annoying after a while, but it is still a very entertaining ride!
