Summary: 


One thing I probably should have mentioned in the original review: my
reading tends to be SF and some mystery/spy, so something as heavily
oriented towards religion as NotR wouldn't have made it onto my reading
list under normal circumstances. At a SF con a while back, though, I was in
listening to a couple of panel discussions where the authors were
constantly using this book as an example of various things -- plot,
characterzation, settings, you name it. Anytime you can get a group of
authors to agree on anything is a rare even, and any time you can get them
to agree on the merits of a book you ought to track it down. I did, and I'm
quite pleased...
