CAVEAT: I read (and enjoyed) this book before I found out about the author's views on LGBT issues. The score is for the book on its own merits.

The 20th Anniversary version which concluded with a dicusssion and insights about the Novel from the Author
there were SO many things wrong with this book (that are fantastically listed in the top two reviews here - both 1 star) but i liked it any way. i’m not even really sure why, apart from i have a horrendous weakness for grossly overpowered protagonists that continuously pull victory from the jaws of defeat, lots of grey morality and some pseudo psychology at the end to make me feel satisfied that the story has wrapped up well.
is it highly problematic? yeah sure. do i understand why people hated it? absolutely! did i absolutely wolf it down and enjoy every minute? yep.
