A review by buffyb
A Canticle For Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr.
3.0
This was a very strange book. I'm not overly partial to stories which span long periods of time. I never really had much of an idea of where the story was going and just when things got interesting, the main character of that section would be killed off.
I found the last 100 pages or so to be the most interesting. The priest's struggle against euthanasia was pretty intense and exciting.
I'm a very character oriented person so I'm not overly interested in books which focus on a theme or plot rather than the people involved. I found that we would get close to a person or people for a brief tantalising moment only to be ripped away. I find that to be pretty frustrating.
