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.

re-Fifth Head of Cerberus: I read the book some considerable time
back. The book is divided into 3 parts, with the 
perspective from which the three parts are written being different.

Personally, I found the 1st part to be very, very good and struggled
through parts 2 and 3 for the sake of completeness, but found them
somewhat uninteresting in comparison. ( I would add that this being
a personal opinion should not be taken as a valid judgement of
the book etc etc...)

I would recommend that you read the book.
