[QUOTE="Alaric_Prympax, post: 1481815, member: 176"] Sorry for the delayed post but I was at the Scarborough Faire in Waxahachie, TX and am still recovering from the trip and adjusting to my varied work schedule plus my girlfriend is still in town during her sping break... anyway here goes. I found the first half of the book slow and I just didn't like it. Maybe because the book is from the early Eighties and might have influenced other things I may have read I found that I was predicting quite a few plot points. But by the middle part of the last chapter of the first half it got quite a bit better though. I did enjoy the second half of the book though I saw the ending quite early on. Would I recommend this to someone else... probably not unless they were very experienced in reading SciFi/Fantasy. IDHTBIFOM so please forgive any misspellings but I couldn't stand Horrabin and the stiltz were a dead giveaway for staying away from the earth. The Master seemed very ineffective throughout the book. I liked Romany after he was shot and how he showed Brendan 'his' skull though once the fire started I knew what was going on. I did enjoy how Darrow and Dog-Face Joe died. I didn't have a problem with the body switching nor a problem with who was whom throughout the novel. Lastly the Antaeus League was a nice touch for protection though I thought Doyle's message to himself could have been something better. Well that's MO. [/QUOTE]
