I thought that this book was one of Foster's best. He has a way of painting a picture in your mind and the characters come alive. The plot may be a bit far fetched but it's original and your heart seems to stop when the the action is at its peak. I've read most of Foster's work and although I love many of his books, (Splinter of the Mind's Eye, Nor Crystal Tears, Codgerspace...), this one gets a special place in my top 10. I've always wanted to see this made into a movie. God the effects would be great! Enjoy.

"Slipt" starts off rather slow, but the tension constantly builds until its exciting climax - certainly, the payoff at the end of the story is worth it. Foster has created a memorable character in Jake Pickett, and also in the would-be villain of the tale, Benjamin Huddy. The writing style is clean, making for a quick and uplifting read. Definitley one worth picking up.

I had to read the book for a class of mine and i thought it was a great book, very thought provoking. Jake really plays a tough old guy. i really was starting to hate Huddy!

This book is without a doubt the worst Sci-Fi book that I have read in a long time. The characters were one dimensionable and insufferable, the plot elements were so unbelivable and poorly detailed that you never became interested in the story or the characters. This book was a total waste of time, the only reason I finished it was that I was on a flight and I could read this or the back of an Air-Sick bag. I would have been better off reading the bag. Star-Trek fans should not read it because it has Alan Dean Foster's name on it.

The Book Was Alright However The Details In The Book Were Vague And The Story Line Was A Bit Weak. A Person That Can Make Mud Slip Off Of A Car?? I'm All For Fantasy But This Was Just A Little Too Far Fetched For Me. If You Have Some Thing Better To I Suggest You Find Some Thing Better.. ~Steve~
