I am 149 pages through this book (total number of pages: 496) and I want to give up. Will I be missing anything? I got it from the library so I won't feel guilty about wasting my money or anything. It's not that I don't like it, I'm just fed up of it. There aren't many funny bits.

Both Alan Moore ("From Hell" and "Watchmen") and Iain Sinclair (author of "London Orbital") have said that "Mother London" is absolutely brilliant, one of the best books (if not the best) ever written about London.

I have the book on hold from the library, so I haven't read it it. Recommendations from other authors can be tricky. Neil Gaiman said that Chesterton's "The Man Call Thursday" was a work of genius. It isn't. It's a short work of tedium.
