Brian P _roductions — Continuing with the comic book/WWII theme, this Pulitzer Prize winner is one of the best books I've ever read about either. The characters are very real and deeply sympathetic, even though the story often crosses the boundary from the realistic to the fantasic. At first, I found myself flipping pages impatiently to get to the Indiana Jones-esque Escapist passages, but ultimately, this book is about the real adventure of life and the inadequacy of our stories as symbols of true experience. Oh, and comic books. It's also about them.

Alexander Ortiz _dwin9403 — I've been having a really hard time working out all the ways I was disappointed in this novel. I hate it when I read something by an author I've enjoyed, and even recommended to other people, and have my opinion of them change dramatically after a new reading, and not for the better. Maybe Bester just got stuck in the 1950s - that's the most harmless interpretation. The exceedingly racist stereotypes, the blatant sexism – I can read over that in a book written in 1955 (though I really don't remember there being any to speak of in The Stars, My Destination), but this was written in 1981. There's no excuse for the linguistic and political attitudes of this novel in 1981. I wanted to come up with at least one thing that I like about this story. Nothing. The main character is a pale shadow of Gully Foyle, a complete egotist with no real motivation for any of his outlandish (yet boring) escapades. The plot line is some vague ethnic Mafia power struggle that I lost track of about half-way through. The science fiction ideas are few and far between, and nothing new or at all interesting. The best part of the book is probably the Afterword by Julius Schwartz and Elliot Maggin about Bester's early career in the magazines. Skip it. Read The Stars, My Destination instead and just forget this novel exists.

Frank Gonzalez _rankdesignerbuilder — Knight Winthrop, Viscount Castlerosse, is a confirmed bachelor whose peaceful life is set on its ear with the arrival of his cousins widow and her three children. Lily was engaged to Knight's cousin Tris when Tris was murdered. She loves the three children and will do anything to stay with them including pretending to be Tris's widow. I spent much of this book extremely angry at the arrogant Knight Winthrop--Love the scene where Lily decks Knight, socks him the belly and coshes him on the head with the water pitcher!
