I didn't find myself very engaged during most of the book. I'm sure the settings were more meaningful when this was written in the late 80s. The characters don't talk like people naturally talk -- lots of complex sentences (in the grammatical sense) and parantheticals, for example. Decent art, some interesting ideas.
