| | 1. |  | The Stars My Destination
from Vintage
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
I've been reading sci fi for years yet I was like a blind man until I read Tiger Tiger aka The star's my destination by Alfred Bester. He manages to fit so much in a few pages. It's fast paced and action packed, yet slow enough for you to catch every gem, which you will find in every single line. It... more info

| | 2. |  | The Demolished Man
from Vintage
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
What my fellow reviewers seem not to realize (I didn't read them all but the first dozen didn't mention it) is that this is a remake of Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. It essentially turns on the cat-and-mouse dynamics of the murderer who wrongly believes that he has the courage to stand... more info

Customer Review:

The problem is that I just keep getting this nagging feeling that the book would have been better if Alfred's insanity would've finished it...instead, you can clearly... more info

from I Books

| | 6. |  | Golem 100
from Simon & Schuster
Customer Review:
This old book doesn't quite have the immortal greatness of Bester's two masterpieces, The Stars My Destination and The Demolished Man. Those two classics deserve to be rediscovered due to their sheer relentless weirdness and Bester's very strange and vivid imagination. After one has digested those... more info

Customer Review:
After reading this book, I threw in the towel as far as dreaming about becoming a SF writer. This book is Perfect, there is no way it can be beaten or even approached by any other SF writing (except, perhaps, TSMD and TDM). (Well, TSMD)
I loved mostly the cultural bits, the language, the in... more info
