5.0 out of 5 stars Too Short!! I Wanted More!!, March 13, 2002

I recently reread Roadmarks. I had forgotten what a great (but short!) book it is. Highly recommended for all science fiction and fantasy fans, and even those who like a good road story.

It has lots of famous cameos - whom not all I could identify -- and some great twists and turns. I only wish it had been longer or had spawned a sequel! This is an extremely easy book to read, and has a great lead character with the requisite mechanical side-kick. It's so good you'll wish the book was twice as long.

I first read this one in 1979, and was rather taken with it at that time. I truely enjoyed it. Recently, I came across it in a box of books in my attic, dusted it off (good grief, a mouse had had it's way with it - groan) and read it again. As with my first reading, I enjoyed it just as much. Now I do admit to being a big Amber fan, so maybe that is part of what did it for me. I also enjoy time travel stories. The book is written in a light fashion, a fashion meant to be enjoyed and to entertain and does this well. I suspect it may not be everyones cup of tea, but for Zelazny fans, it will be a treat. I very much recommend this one...if you can find it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Long and Wonderful Road of time..., January 18, 2003

This review is from: Roadmarks (Mass Market Paperback)

The book tells the story of a highway, not too far from here, that doesnt take people to destinations....it takes them to the future and the past. Red and his Robot sidekick (who is hilarious) are trying to evade 10 Assasins sent to kill them as they travel through time in their old pickup truck while looking for the road exit that leads them where they want to go... A Fun little book that a person can polish off in 3 hours or so and will enjoy it more that a movie for the same investment of time.... If you are a slower reader, have no fear... the highway of time in this book is Forgiving and will be waiting as long as it takes..

Go to the Used bookstore/Online Auction and buy this Masterpeice!
