There’s quite a gap between the importance of the story and the quality of the writing, and there doesn’t seem to be any disagreement about that.
On the plus side, more people are likely to read it than a doctoral thesis, and it’s an important story for people to know about. It’s a case of four stars for the story and two stars for the execution. I’m glad I read it because it was a case about which I had only the vaguest knowledge beforehand.
