The Wild Shore (Three Californias Triptych, #1)

Since I liked the Mars trilogy so much, I decided to try out his other famous work, the alternate California novels. I didn't like this first one much. It's, well, not very good. A basic coming of age novel set in a degenerate, post-apocalyptic Ameicna culture. Some of the culture stuff is reasonably well executed, but on the whole I found this book kind of dull. I'm not likely to read the next two.
