A review by rickyturner
A Canticle For Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr.

2.0

I spent some time thinking about why I didn't like this book and why, and I've come to the conclusion that it would've been much better if it were divided into three books and each part was expanded. I could forgive his contrived prose and preachiness if there was more substance to the plot.

The story felt rushed, the world felt under developed and every character felt like the same person, aside from two. I think it should be obvious which two I refer to.

I guess it's not really fair of me, because aside from the pioneers of sci-fi I'm not really a fan of the genre--but then, I don't think good writing should be defined by the genre.
