It's schlocky and pulpy, but it's also breezy and entertaining. I mean it's nearly 1,000 pages and I read it in under a week.
Kind of curious from time to time what exactly makes the movie SO bad, but not curious enough to find out.

Don't watch it. The book is an example of an old school sci-fi writer cranking out massive content that's a joy to read. The movie is a tragically broken John Travolta vehicle. I'd like to see a decent adaption but you can add that to the wishlist.
