A review by jrt5166
To Your Scattered Bodies Go by Philip José Farmer

2.0

The concept offered great scope for the imagination, but unfortunately Farmer's imagination was unable to stretch far enough to consider the possibility that women are people. He seems like a cynical guy, and a bit self indulgent. His story concept allows him to pull the most interesting historical figures (in his mind, anyway) into the novel as characters. Incidentally, the most interesting people in history includes a fictional dude who writes for a living and happens to share Farmer's initials. I don't even want to understand what Farmer was trying to do with Hermann Göring. Satisfying as it was to see that monster miserable and plagued by nightmares and drug addiction, Farmer seemed to be edging him toward a redemption arc, which does not interest me in the least.
