I&...I am so glad you chose to read and review this. I'm very familiar with the title but for some reason had the idea that it was a totally different kind of book. I rather like futuristic dystopian novels, really into them back in the seventies (Alas Babylon made the biggest impression on me) and still lean towards them today, so it amazes me that this one slipped by me. Off to the library I went and I just finished it. I would give it a slightly higher rating, but not the 5 that the book jacket would imply it should have. And the first part didn't quit grab me like the rest of it. So personal preference prevails as it often does.<br /><br />Something else the book jacket told me. Forty years after this was published, Miller wrote the "long awaited" sequel. I've just picked it up from the library, going to follow the antics of those monks now that they are in space. I trust you won't be joining me? :-)The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.com
