I really wanted to like this classic of Science
Fiction. It takes place in a
post-apocalyptic American desert where a Catholic monastery preserves past
technology. It’s one of those great
premises that works as a premise but not necessarily as a story. The characters never really stood out for me
and the reading experience felt like homework.
There’s some great themes embedded in this book and I understand why so
many hold this book up in reverence but I just found it to be long and
emotionally flat. The plotting didn’t
hold my interest and when I finished I felt relief that it was over. Grade: C
