Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy
Book Type: Mass Market Paperback

Helpful Score: 3


While this book is highly acclaimed by many readers, I found it to be dull, poorly executed drivel. Especially unpleasant is the antagonist who's repressed homosexuality and attraction to our hero fuels his violent rages, sadistic behavior, and repression of the Scots in this area of operation.

I gave the book 1/2 star so that no one would think I'd forgotten to rate it. If only negative stars were available... I kind of feel cheated out of my time spent with it.
