I'm planning to read the rest of the trilogy at some point. I started into The Manticore, but put it aside for a while for other reading.
I enjoyed The Fifth Business, though I wouldn't rank it among my favorites at this point.
I thought Ramsay's attitude towards his undeserved hero status was refreshingly honest and practical. Ironically, though, he chose to believe in the miracles of sainthood in the face of his own example of how chance events can create the perception of great acts.
