Recommend me books whose prose is an element that seems to have a life of its own.

Recently, I read The City & The City and The Cruel Prince. I loved Miéville's prose, despite its problems, and I hated Holly Black's book. What bothered me most about Black's book was not its story and dull characters, but its prose.

Black's prose made me feel a thing that I never thought would happen. The prose is uninspired just like the whole work. But instead of "causing" me indifference, the prose made me feel apathy. And that's too weird. The book didn't seem credible or amusing at all, but it managed to cause me an emotion whose nature is to feel nothing.

Since then, I've been obsessed with prose. Now, I'm reading Battle Royale and I don't like the book 'cause its writing reminds me a lot of an anime, but without the killing part and the descriptions that, out of nowhere, become too meticulous when it needs to describe a corpse. But what is killing my desire to continue reading this book is its "personalityless" prose. Therefore, I came to ask for recommendations for books where prose is an element that stands out on its own. If the book manages to stand out for its writing too, it will be even better for me.
