I see people saying the key to the big mystery is weak.
I find that its weakness is exactly the point. Yes, it was "JUST" about that. It's horrifying. Power will do that. That's the point.

The misogyny reads a lot "old-school" : women being perceived as gold-diggers or inherently lustful.ominousspectre's review against another edition

D: <--- my reaction to that ending
Well I haven't had a good dose of sci-fi existentialism since I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream or watching Visitor to a Museum. I'll probably think about this for the rest of my life.
A wildly inventive tale of the power of indoctrination, all tied up into a mystery that you cannot see coming. There were a few eye rolling bits, but I love this story so much that I don't care!

Ich meine ich habe das ganze Hörbuch durchgehört also kann ich nicht 0 Sterne vergeben.... Ich wollte dann doch noch endlich herausfinden, was es mit den Haarteppichen auf sich hat. Wenn dich das auch interessiert, du dich aber nicht durch das ganze Buch quälen willst, lies einfach das letzte Kapitel...
Das Buch ist am Anfang faszinierend und dann langweilig. Es ist ekelhaft. Ich habe mich so viel geekelt und war so unzufrieden. Das Ende ist mega unbefriedigend wenn man sich schon einmal komplett durchgequält hat. Warum hat der Autor das Buch überhaupt geschrieben?
