This was such an unbelievably sad book: the kind of sadness that presses on your chest and makes you feel like you can't move. It was excellent. It was a beautifully written tale about living in the past, incidental decisions and worries about things that don't matter to anyone but ourselves. I thought it was clearly a symbolic representation of the encompassing effect of ireland's past on its current generations. A lesson in perceiving individual significance in a bigger world and the importance of the realisation of real human connection, not protracted conflicts or feuds based on actions of our ancestors (or even our younger selves). It was a short emotional journey and a really excellent book to while away a cold winter evening.

This is one of those books that has travelled with me all my life. Not only physically, AS a book, but as an idea. It was the first anthology I read as a kid, and the first time I read so many 'behind the scenes' articles about the actual people behind these stories. It was a book of stories about subjects I certainly didn't think much about at that age, as my exposure to SF was monster movies, Star Trek, Star Wars and the like. So seeing that there were other levels to genre fiction was just one of the rewards of this book. Another was that it gave me permission to have opinions about what other people--writers, editors, reviewers--claimed about books. Ellison's intros and the authors' afterwords were a discussion happening on the page, one I was invited into. For a kid to read stories and also discussion about them by the actual writers--as opposed to some textbook lecturing me about what this book meant--was liberating. As I got older and read old interviews and essays, read the second volume of the never-completed trilogy, I started to think that maybe this book and the 'controversial' stories weren't all that. Some of them were just shocking, some of them pushed ideas I didn't think were all that important or controversial, and some, like the Del Rey, Knight and Bloch stories, seemed to be all warm-up to not much pay-off. Over time, as I began to sell my own short stories, I started to think these big names needed to be told when they were cruising. The Knight and Del Rey stories in particular seem to be little more than their messages about the meaninglessness or awfulness of God. They weren't really stories. Ellison himself actually illustrates the difference. While Robert Bloch's "A Toy for Juliette" is written in a very interesting way (I still recall my own imaginary version of that room), it's all a buildup to a punchline, something Bloch was guilty of sometimes. He's still a great writer whose memoir is one of the key books in a troubled time of my life, but the style of this story (not all of his, no way, he was indeed a fantastic writer) leading up to a zinger left me very unsatisfied--the ideas that should be explored here and in the Knight and Del Rey stories and others are not explored at all, but simply stated. It's as if they believed that daring to write a story about these subjects was enough, no actual story had to be told. Ellison picked up the ball Bloch fumbled and constructed one of his most unjustly-ignored short stories. He showed how one takes these 'controversial' ideas and makes stories, not just punchlines. So for a period I dismissed this book. The stories were old-hat, some of them were just okay, I was beyond that stuff. Yet I came back and learned to appreciate the craftsmanship of those involved. The stories by Miriam Allen DeFord, Philip Jose Farmer, Samuel Delany and many others are just flat-out great stories. As I've taken another look at the book, I understood that writing to shock is just as legitimate a goal as any. One of the labels I've found annoying in reference to books and films of decades past is 'dated,' as if a work of art can't be worth one's time if it was about its own time. Some of the stories here are indeed dated, but it's funny how something called dated manages to be pertinent again--when the world continues to change, as it always does. Very few works of art are always timely, and many, many bad works of art are ones the creators tried to make 'universal.' These are individual stories, written by writers who had certain things they wanted to talk about, in a time of great change in the world. There are so many voices, so many ideas, so much entertainment in this one book, that I can't ignore that it has been part of my life for decades, and it's been so because it has great value.
It's fascinating. Complicated psychological analysis of human soul, its weaknesses and strengths.

This is not a gripping page-turner, it's more akin to savouring warm chocolate/hot tea on an incredibly cold and snowy day. It's an ode to his father, which is not something you read about often, set against a backdrop of colombian privilege, catholicism and nascent battles, and one man's rebellious nature against it all. Lots of humour, lots of tears, lots of real life. Lots of good parenting tips, too!

If you can get through the first 100 pages, it's a worthy murder mystery.

Orwell's slightly darker interpretation of a Utopian society. It's 1984 (or so we think) and the British government has gone from a constitutional monarchy to a full blown dictatorship. All controlled by BIG BROTHER. Who is Big Brother? no one really knows, they just know that he is in power and what he says goes. Big Brother not only controls the government, he controls you. What you do, where you live, what you say, and even what you think. People are monitored through a variety of surveillances including a "Telescreen" (Orwell's interpretation of a Television), cameras etc. The surveillance are monitored by the Though Police. Any violation could result in arrest and possibly elimination. Orwell's novel remains a classic to this day and many adaptations of this novel have been made. Movies, parodies etc. Including Apple Computer's 1984 commercial depicting a society similar to the one in the novel.

Killed his father, screwed his mother, poked his own eyes out with pins...pretty scandalous stuff to a 16 year-old in Western PA!!
The book starts promising in Pondicherry, a small state close to India. The first part of the book takes place here, but in the next part, the main characters lives in a life-raft on the middle of the pacific. This is extremely boring. It describes in detail every small incignificant part of his life and means of survival. Not recommended.
