An insight into the pampered and sociopathic mind of a future fascist dictator! Such fun! A little weaker than the original trilogy (which I consider a modern classic - kids will be reading this in lit class 100 years from now) but still a well rounded and interesting read. A little slow paced and there were too many passages where the protagonist was just giving commentary on songs his girlfriend was singing so I dropped half a star but overall really, really good.
