(It's been a while since I read it, so apologies if that's not an appropriate summation of the end-of-book plan) which seems, to me, doomed to failure.
No that's pretty accurate, from where I'm sitting.
I think part of the problem here is that she focuses on individualism, rather than integrity. I don't have my book with me, but there's a little aside where Dag's brother says, "you're just thinking of yourself!" and Dag says, "yeah, I guess I am -- how refreshing."
And it makes perfect sense that this would be framed differently in this very American milieu -- as opposed to, say, the Vorkosigan books -- but it just didn't fly for me.
