a look at the James Wood AtD review - part 2 (couple spoilers)

I'd say not enough paranoia.  Also, chaos and diffusion are less compelling than the trajectory 
of the parabola, theme-wise.

>> Thanks for your thoughtful dissection of the Woods review (which I haven't actually read yet). I think what you say in point "n" is the real gist of his review: nothing in the book particularly grabbed him. I think we all have our favorite sections in TRP's books. For me, they came fast and furious in GR (and V, COL49 and M&D) but were much sparser in VL and ATD. So I can sympathize with reviewers who are less than enthralled with ATD.
