Love In The Ruins

Short Review: I liked this about as much as I liked Second Coming. The main characters seemed pretty similar, although the settings were very different as was the style of the book. Percy can write and he brings sharp critique of culture and the world couched in humor. But there are also some meandering parts. The sex, language and racism, all part of the satire, can still be a bit draining, even while you appreciate what he is trying to do.

I really liked the main character Tom More, although I can see why some did not. This is a book I mostly listened to, but I think I want to read it again in print. Grover Gardner was a good narrator.

Written before The Thanatos Syndrome, but I read it on the strength of Thanatos which I'd read 2 years previously. I like the main character. Interesting chap.
