Title: great until the incredibly STUPID ending
Product review: This book is entertaining and interesting most of the way through, but then veers off into the most implausible, annoying, and downright dumb ending you may ever come across, with the exception of maybe a comic book or a Star Trek episode. One thing that really, really gets on my nerves is when a writer puts forth a philosophy or a message at the end of a book without bothering to make the rest of the book tie into that philosophy at all. The only thing that bothers me more is when an author spends an entire book developing a character and then to wrap things up has that character do something completely out of personality and context, with no connection at all. Wolfe does both these things. I can only recommend this book with a warning to hold your nose at the end. I think Wolfe himself must have gotten sick and tired of writing the thing, or maybe he had to meet a deadline or something.
