          <body><![CDATA[I think it's definitely one of those books where the premise is more important than the text.  It's clearly meant more as a gedankenexperiment, and an expression of the author's philosophy, than as an actual novel.  Not much characterization, bland prose.<br/><br/>But I think it succeeds at what it's trying to do--it convincingly shows how a subset of humanity, cut off from civilization and amenities, could descend into savagery.  It's plausible all the way.]]></body>
