 self loathing/pity.  TC is
just too much like Marvin the android for my taste.  Donaldson has some
good ideas (and some bad ones), and can create good images/plot/meaning
when he tries to, but all to often it seems like he was just trying to
meet some daily goal of pages written.  Other SF writers have produced
books just as meaningful and more interesting without resorting to
chronic depression or an 'imposing double trilogy', or to a Lucky Starr
format.
