Looking forward to reading 'Saint Leibowitz...', I enjoyed re-reading 'A Canticle For Leibowitz' stopping at the point where SLATWHW storyline picks up the story only to experience a major letdown with Miller's second book. In a word I found it B*O*R*I*N*G. Excrutiatingly so. I would have to agree with what I read in various reviews found elsewhere that there was a good reason it went unpublished for so long. SLATWHW might be of interest to students of fictional social anthropology but it sure seemed like a 434 page trip that ended up going nowhere, failing to advance the storyline of the original novel one bit. (It was a relief to finally close SLATWHW and get back to reading the final section of ACFL)
