I deprived myself of this encapsulating tale long enough to forget enough to make the second trip through almost, almost, as enjoyable as the first. With the exception of the ten pages dedicated to Lucy Mancini's vaginal reconstruction surgury (which surprisingly did not make it into either of the first two films), this tale is literary wizardry. And, if I could discern the significance behind Mancini's medical miracle, I may even appreciate those ten pages.
