I haven't yet it. Not sure I will because there is so many other good works out there.

Like most artistic fields, the skills for novel writing has gotten better over the last 50 years. There is no room for pendantic writing to create a setting and characters these days. The good writers have weave these attributes into the plot.

Recently, I have been reminiscing over the works of the The Seekers, that Australion folk/pop group from the 1960s. Mostly talent and some stage presence to make wonderful music. But they would not make it in today's market.
