2.0 out of 5 stars Painfully Mediocre, May 29, 2002

This review is from: The Stainless Steel Rat Goes to Hell (Mass Market Paperback)

There is very little in the world worse than watching a favorite author write well below his potential. The four previous Stainless Steel Rat books I had read were all full of acerbic wit, tight action, and amazing (yet credible) escapes. This one is lacking in nearly every category. With every page, I was desperately hoping that Harrison would break out and regain his form. Alas, it was not to be.

1.0 out of 5 stars The tanking of the series, June 23, 2002

This review is from: The Stainless Steel Rat Goes to Hell (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is what I consider the terminal end to the series. I've been a die-hard fan of Slippery Jim for around... two decades (and I'm only 26). This book, however, is a phenominal whiffle of bunk. I can't believe that the series has become this corny. It's terribly insulting that Mr. Harrison would do this to one of my most beloved literary memories. Not that I want to give away any spoilers, but I have one word for those of us that have already read the book... SAUSAGES!
So lets say that you don't believe me. Just have a look at the cover. That pretty much sums up the feel of this book. Corny. It made me irate for days.
I'd still like to recommend the first 7-8 books in the series to you folks, though.

It wasn't the best Stainless Steel Rat book I've read, but it was still pretty damn good!
