Hey i'm sure it's not a bad book - but having started it 11 months ago, putting it down every time a better read came along, i've taken pity on it and placed it back on the shelf.
the subject matter was interesting, and is germane to some stuff i'm reading up on, but i think it was just difficult to get my head into a snapshot written in the mid-80s, given that i know everything that was about to happen. Couldn't get through it.
