Watching incompetents bungling around is NOT entertaining - unless you enjoy being on the rack. I might have taken an entirely different few of "The Lathe of Heaven" if there hadn't been such an obvious solution. As it was, any qualities that the novel may have had were drowned in the agony produced by watching bunglers at work.
