protovulcan 's review for:

A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller, Jr.
4.0
dark reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: N/A

This story is told in 3 parts with centuries between them,  which is fascinating. It's a really good hypothetical on post nuclear warfare and how we advance as a society just to destory each other over and over. Obviously super religious so I probably missed a lot of nuance since I wasn't raised Catholic/Christian.
