The shadow of the Torturer

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I'm sorry folks but I have to agree with Mclure on the Gene Wolfe
novel.  I tend to read to the end anything I pick up but I could not
finish Torturer.  I think the writing style was very bad and the story
didn't seem to be headed anywhere.  It was a waste of my time..
