You speak as if it's either/or. As you will have seen on my first post, I did enjoy the book - I do enjoy the books, which is why I nominated this one. Being aware doesn't preclude enjoyment ... or not always. There are some books that I enjoyed when younger that I now find hard to take. Oddly, or not, most of the victims tend to be closer to contemporary than Burroughs.
