Average rating -

Rating: - Great story telling

This is a book to come back to time and time again. First puiblished in the 60's it still feels new. The characters are good and you want to know what happens to them.

You need to add the Lavalite world to this to complete the story.

Rating: - forgot how it happened

The first page will have its way with you. Once the seduction is complete you will give your mind over to the author for reconditioning. By the time it's over you will resemble something like a dummy spitting brat with a "Matrix" hangover and a longing for something that you know exists but stubbornly refuses to show itself.

You may become the fool you have always been afraid of...promises, promises... or perhaps the daily ritual that has become life for most of us will reveal itself to be a mere backdrop for the adventure that is real life.
You may begin to remember a time when you were a God in a drunken bar and you controlled the sway of your vision by simply recognizing that it - your vision - is just another option. You will be sober again someday and that is your salvation.

Science-fiction/fantasy is the catagory or slot where someone just had to stick it. 'World of tiers' combines the standards of that catagory with the things that we tend to forget to think about: What is our origin? Why is it important to us? Is it important to us? Who is the real hero?

As the 20th century continues to grow impatient we seem to be sacrificing our memory and our ability to think clearly.
Now days even water is not clear enough unless it has been sold to you. When did that happen?
This book will always be there to remind those who can grasp the coat tails of the past - as it dissapears from our value scale - that this is what we have forgotten. You may one day find yourself standing there with a vague look on your face tightly gripping something in your hands that you will never recognize. Who cares?

Rating: - THE BEST ADVENTURE NOVEL EVER

Great story, great characters, great ideas, great style. Only weakness: too abrupt end, at the end of every book you want to know more
