Without any further explanation, the list of related books seems rather arbitrary. Burschik 15:46, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- You're right. I ought to add a paragraph explaining that the books either inspired or are referenced in The Scar. Goblin 03:22, Aug 18, 2004 (UTC)
- I'm currently reading this book and a funny story about this - I was lent The Scar by a friend and at the same time I lent her Snow Crash. I looked this up a while ago and found it funny that this site considers the two related. I can tell you why one would consider the two related - Snow Crash featured a giant floating 'Raft' composed of hundreds of ships lashed together into a floating city, now this was just a plot device never actually fully explored. The Scar is about several people living on a floating city also composed of hundreds of ships lashed together. 72.57.10.124 05:38, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Many Critics? What critics?
Under the "Themes and Analysis" heading there are these two sentences: "Many critics agree that Miéville's characters in The Scar mark the most significant improvement over his previous works, as they express and relate the more subtle characteristics of fear, boredom, companionship, betrayal and lust. Caught up in all its symbolism and entendre, a reader might forget that this novel is set in a fantastic universe." While I might actually agree with this statement, it isn't really appropriate for this article unless these critics can be cited. Who said that the "characters in The Scar mark the most significant improvement over his previous works"? That's a pretty big claim to make without any kind of reference or citation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.103.60.28 (talk) 11:14, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
