content: This is an author I hold with great respect. However, I must be honest in saying I had difficulty reading this book. I agree that it may be me, and not him, but I do feel his Trilogy to be much easier reading. This topic is one I feel very sympathetic with, but would strongly recommend his other books instead. (Now other readers, please please do not get upset, this is just my opinion, and in no way am I being disrespectful, as he is a master writer!)
