Customer Reviews

Very interesting little book

I thought this book was quite interesting, and for many of the reasons another reviewer seemed to hate it. There's no accounting for taste and there's room in here for all us freaks. The narrative of the book is sometimes a little simplistic, but given that it's by a revolutionary and not a professional writer, it's easy to cut her some slack. Overall, the plotting moves right along so the writing doesn't bog anything down. Getting some insights into what a person goes through to end up bombing a cruise missile facility is quite fascinating. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys a peak into other, real worlds, that run in parallel to the mainstream.
