5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, entertaining - kept me reading to the wee hours., September 30, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Slaves of Sleep & the Masters of Sleep (L. Ron Hubbard Fiction Classic Series) (Hardcover)

This was an engrossing story, unlike any other I've read. It takes one right into an alternative world and builds a fantasy (or was it?) without many of the usual trappings of sword 'n sorcery. Intertwined with the real world,the goings-on in this fantasy world were highly satirical. This is a book you want to read without stopping. (I admit, I finished this book at 3 AM one night shortly after starting it.) Highly amusing, it left one with a lift.

This review is from: Slaves of Sleep & the Masters of Sleep (L. Ron Hubbard Fiction Classic Series) (Hardcover)

Love this area of fantasy - one of my first favorite books by this author. I only wish he had written many more in this genre. I loved the magic the writer (in the story) wove - and that our hapless hero won in the end.

This review is from: Slaves of Sleep & the Masters of Sleep (Hardcover)

1) The audiobook reading by Rene Auberjonois was excellent! 'nuff said!

2) Story about dream worlds and genies..."original" material, not your standard hack-n-slash/magical fantasy or alien/colonizing sci-fi.

3)I agree with the other two reviews that this kept you wondering what was going to happen next.

Highly Recommend
