I really enjoyed the first two parts of this book. The third part not as much. I really, truly wish that I could erase my memories of works derived from A Canticle for Leibowitz, because its influence on the post-apocalyptic sci-fi genre is very obvious, especially the Fallout games.
I wouldn't recommend this book to everyone. I would recommend the individual parts to different people.
