Couldn’t get into it. ( )

I'm reasonably sure that this book was not printed on acid free paper. Vaguely like sawing the top of your skull off and soaking your brain in ice water. I'm pretty sure half of it was terrific and half was tripe, but I'm not sure which half was which. Lots of characters from the authors other works appear here - familiarity with them will, well, make them more familiar. Fnord. Good luck. ( )

It's equally frightening, disappointing, and unsurprising that a book written in 1979 satirizes the same political BS still present and thriving in the USA today. In fact, it has some eerie predictive qualities (the government some of the characters work against is ruled by a few rich people who control 99% of the country's wealth; just one of the elite distributing all personal funds above $1 million equally to every citizen would solve most problems; commercial entities have screwed democracy and anything that would do good for the world...sound familiar?). However, any of these critical kernels can only be found in part 1 of the book. The whole book is bizarre, but part 2 just takes the cake. It lacks cohesion, is difficult to follow, didn't really add anything new, and I just didn't care. ( )
