  • Great Book, WYSIWG Service by Seller, am Happy with Both

    As many have said the content can be a bit challenging and its one of Zelazny's best. Not to be missed. So that is about the story and the writing. The book arrived in a timely manner, as advertised. So, what's not to like about that. I am, in fact, replacing my prior holding, that I lost in the Marshall Fire. I like to have books, that are this good, readily at hand.

  • GET THIS BOOK, and be glad from your first reading and thereafter

    No spoilers at all. If you have not read this science-fiction classic by the brilliant Roger Zelazny, you will be on a great adventure from the first page. Bought it in college in 1969, and a copy has been in my library ever since. Now on my tenth copy, because I give them as gifts to young people who think reading is ick. This book grabs them, though.
