Yeah, great review. It's a big comfort to know that I don't have another 300 pages of uninterrupted cum/piss/toejam/snot/dickcheese/shit (and precious little else) ahead of me.

I still may have to stop every once in a while and read something lighter to "cleanse the palette" -- I've been using E.C. Tubb's "Dumarest," assorted "Star Trek" and assorted other books as diversions between chunks of "Spiders". But I think I'll be able to finish now.
