One of Campbell's best. The prose overreaches for effect in scattered spots, but the strengths of the work far outweigh its minor flaws. Campbell's sense of place is superb and his credible characters are well rounded without striking readers as belabored. His similes are often breathtaking and the use of such devices is measured; Campbell may be many things but self indulgent isn't one of them.
