Title: Typical Epic Voyage, Mostly Nonsense
Review: Read on a recommendation, I have no idea what anyone could see in this book. For the most part, the main character is just going from place to place having brief adventures that present obvious moral characteristics. Each little adventure is quickly left behind and forgotten, simply because the main character has a compulsion to head North. Its a poorly strung collection of nearly unrelated events that culminates in, what a bit of reading has clarified for me, is a poor expression of some very ancient and ridiculous religious ideas (gnosticism, as it turns out--if you don't think its fair to call a religious sort of idea ridiculous, read about gnosticism before you get upset). Sure, Lindsay describes some crazy environments, but come on, we all have imaginations, there's nothing too special there either.
Is the review positive or negative?
