Not my favorite. As much as I love his books, I think that I don't share his tastes, which is fine. I was expecting/wanting more of the process of writing and developing his books, but that wasn't in this one. Probably improper expectations on my part. However, the man really does know the genre.

And, boy howdy, does he dislike critics.
