This story of one man's revenge on the whole world is particularly gripping. I'm not a big fan of Herbert's but I must say this reads rather well, apart from a few references that make it obvious he is an American, like the phrase on the first page where he refers to cars in Ireland being right-hand drive and when he talks about "Upperclassmen" at college. All the same I am enjoying this novel. The cover on the other hand is the most amateurish piece of garbage I have seen in a long while.
Conclusion: Not a bad story at all, apart from the aforementioned criticisms and the conversations that seem very staged and an excuse for philosophical proselytizing.
