The long promised review.
Sep. 18th, 2002 12:52 amOk, I got motivated and got my shit together long enough to write my review.
The Lambda Conspiracy by Spencer Hughes is quite possibly one of the most inflammatory novels I have had the misfortune of reading in a very long time. Thinly disguised as fiction, most of the characters within serve as either bullhorns projecting the views of the author, or as galvanized stereotypes refined further into stock bad people who no one could love. Every character in the book is flat and one-dimensional, serving only to illustrate an argument filled with circular logic and purple prose. Of course, the author would say I’m giving it a bad review because I’m gay, but I prefer to think I’m giving it a bad review because the book is horribly written and anyone with the IQ of a groundhog could see the logical flaws within.
( 18 things I find offensive )
This is why I have problems with the presentation of the subject matter. I haven’t even finished yet, but I assume it ends (based on reading the last two pages) with a heterosexual wedding and a national return to “traditional Christian values”.
There is no logic, just unmitigated hatred.
