Customer Reviews

Excellent Read.

Being a huge fan of Poe, I really enjoyed this book. This is the only book of Rucker I have read, so I cannot compare it to his other writings, but I thought the book was great. It provides a fantastic escape into another world!

Very amusing for Poe fans-- imaginative and fun.

Like the reviewer below, I've read almost all of Rucker's work, including his short-story output, which is excellent. Unlike him, I really enjoyed this book. Poe fans and lit majors will get a kick out of it, and casual readers of SF will enjoy it as well. Perhaps not as good as the Software/Wetware/Freeware novels, but very enjoyable, and on a par with White Light and Secret of Life.
