Query: Interesting ideas, but slipshod execution

Intriguing idea well enough described in the other reviews. But the material is presented in a formulaic way - at times it felt like I was re-reading Canterbury Tales because each new character was a new "adventure", but with much less interesting descriptions and stories. What kept me reading to the end was the desire to see where the author took the whole thing - and it wasn't a really satisfying place. Townsend seems to have done as everyone told him he would do - learn to accept and trust authority. Everyone lives happily every after. Yuck.
