Title: I'm looking into the return policy
Review: This book is about as bad as they come. The narration gets in the way of the narrative. The author gets in the way of the narrative with his pointless first person rambles. Oh and there is no narrative. No development of events, nor of (the bundles of whacky/stock that pass for) characters. There is no theme to speak of. For those of you who believe it has a theme about the dangers of dogma, might I suggest the first three books in the Dune series. They actually have that theme.Dune, 40th Anniversary Edition (Dune Chronicles, Book 1),Dune Messiah (Dune Chronicles),Children of Dune (Dune Chronicles, Book 3)And as far as it being "deep", it's not. It is not even philosophically literate. I've had students who failed my intro to philosophy classes with a deeper understanding than this book's narrative voice has. It's symptomatic of the postmodernist nonsense that permeates our literature departments[...]Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse of Science.
