I would like to give this 5 stars, really, I would. But there's so much irritating about Rod Whitaker's perspective that I just wouldn't feel comfortable lending the book that level of personal approval. This book interested me from the start and I even started playing a little badu (badly). When I heard that Whitaker's was racist, misogynist, and just generally disgusting, I thought that this may have been just a product of the time but it's really just a product of his personal revulsion for anything not Whitaker. You can tell that he identified with the flawless Hel. Whitaker's pedestrian attitude toward other cultures emerges to that point of satire. By the way, I'd love to see a body count in this book.
