| | 1. |  | The Stars My Destination
from Vintage
Price: $6.42
Customer Review:
The story may seem a bit off the scale for what we consider SF in 2009, however when I first found a paperback copy in 1967 and read it... SF became real to me.
Alfred Bester takes a character who is basically an idiot and brings him up to the stage of 'awakening' all while going in a strange... more info

Customer Review:
Some quick facts:
This is not a "neglected, underrated gem".
This is not Alfred Bester at his best.
This is not a novel. In the technical sense of the word it is, but actually this one craves to be a comic storyline, KA-BOOM! and SPLORSH! waving to the poor reader from every page,... more info

from Roc
Price: $19.50
Customer Review:
I picked this book up along with Bester's _The Stars My Destination._
I only bought the _Starburst_ anthology because I wanted to read more from Bester. I was not prepared to be blown away by his entertaining and breezy writing style. Yet Bester's topics are for adults, not grownup children.... more info

Customer Review:
What if in some distant future all they knew about us was from old Hollywood films, and just bits and pieces of them at that? What if those people then decided to build their society around those fragments?
Take that basic premise, throw in a crime spree, a few Hollywood stars, Bester's... more info
