Review of 'Shikasta' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

I've been slogging through this for ten days (Dec 19-29, 2014), and the joy all around me only serves to emphasize the dreariness of this. The point of bogging down was the case studies, a depressing collection of evil and stupid people.

I understand the book gets better, but don't really want to skip ahead to where Johor is brought into the world as George. So for now I will shelve it abandoned, and perhaps try to read the second half later. No rating so far, but the first half is very disjointed, with little plot evident.
