Title: All that need be said
Product review: One doesn't really need to read this trilogy (though I have) to get an insight into "what it's all about".Yes, it's true that one of the lead characters is noted for the admonition "Think for yourself, schmuck!", and I have seen this admonition repeated several times in this forum.But the people in this forum who say, "Think for yourself, schmuck!" are adoring fans of this book and they are responding to the minority who don't like the book at all.The fans of the book appear to have decided that one couldn't possibly be thinking for himself if he just plain doesn't like the book.In other words, "Think for yourself, schmuck!" is just a code phrase for "Think like I do! Think like the majority of us do!"And that by itself, I think, is all that one really needs to know about the content of the book, the authors and the audience to whom the book is directed.
