Title: The painfully hackneyed enlightenment of professor Caritat
Review: I've read some bad books, but wow, this is truly awful. Its only insightful moment, (which is also its only mildly comical moment) is when Caritat realizes that his experience in a Communist utopia had only been a dream. The rest of the book consists of maddeningly dumbed down caricatures of various political ideologies, written in the most ham-fisted, self-conscious, inconsistent prose I've ever had the misfortune of being required to read. A real letdown. A better use of your time might be to watch two orangutans pick chiggers out of each other's fur.
