[edit] Synopsis
Whoever started the synopsis of the book needs to finish it, else the whole thing needs to be re-written from the start - preferably a more general synopsis rather than a breakdown of each section of the book, as has been attempted. Tredanse 11:07, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. I've just finished the book (oh shiny, shiny book!) and would be willing to promise to have a go at completing the synopsis in this format in the near future. But, like you, I'm not convinced that that's the best way to go about writing an article. Should I go for it, or should we come up with something else? Athenemiranda 13:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- The current format's okay. If you want to write a more condensed synopsis, that'd be better. The person who started this has sort of been reviewing the book, which isn't exactly encyclopedic. - Tredanse 13:51, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- I started the synopsis, feel free to trash it and start again. I don't even have a copy of the book to hand so I'm very unlikely to finish it. TRS-80 17:05, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Races of New Crobuzon
I suggest this section be moved to the New Crobuzon article. Tredanse 11:10, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
Or vice-versa. I've added Perdido Street Station to the list a dystopian literature, but the New Crobuzon article discusses this, unlike this article. It's also a hell of a lot better than this article 144.132.251.40 12:56, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
