I recently bought the second and third of the trilogy at a library book sale, now I just need to find the first.MPorciushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515742639389937221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259460772864393968.post-77328251913700166692013-11-26T17:28:08.075-05:002013-11-26T17:28:08.075-05:00I'm a big fan of Harry Harrison.

I fell so deeply for it and re-read it so often that it truly remains one of my favorite reading experiences and I still very much enjoy it now that I am in my mid 40's. A decade or so ago I read this volume aloud to my wife and she thoroughly enjoyed it as well. <br /><br />It isn't without its problems, as you point out, but I haven't outgrown it. <br /><br />Not too many years back I read the Deathworld books and enjoyed them all as well. <br /><br />I never could get into the Bill books. After falling so hard for Slippery Jim DiGriz, Bill was just too silly for me. Had it been written by another author I probably would have enjoyed it, but I was so stuck on that kind of writing from Harrison that I couldn't go with him into his Bill stories. Carl V.

I too once posted only on Amazon, but dislike for the format eventually took over, and I shifted to blogger. I hope you find the enhanced freedom as invigorating.<br /><br />And lastly, thanks for the link back to <i>Deathworld</i> above. As you produce more content in the future, I hope to do the same. :)Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796098208589965362noreply@blogger.com
