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.

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.

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

Probably the best fantasy book I have ever read. The story keeps you wondering where it will go next. Don't start reading this book late at night, because you won't be able to put it down. It is full of satire and adventure in two alternating worlds. This is an example of why Hubbard was such a popular writer in his time.

This is really 2 books in one. I really enjoyed this. Gave it to a friend and he really liked it too. I would highly recommend it.
