2.0 out of 5 stars Good book, awful conversion in ebook, September 18, 2011

The book is good, full of twisted scenes and strange dialogues.
What is terrible is the quality of the ebook conversion, probably made with OCR.
A lot of missing full stops, wrong words (i.e. "real" becomes "red"), and even asterisks when there shouldn't be.
You better buy the paperback version...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece, November 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Steps (Paperback)

Kosinski, or the Kosinski committee or whatever it was (Paul Auster is one of many who claim to have been paid to 'fix up' his early drafts), wrote some psychologically fascinating and beautifully written stuff (The Painted Bird, Steps, and to a lesser extent, Cockpit and The Devil Tree) and some really bad stuff (Pinball, The Hermit of Whatever-it-was-th Street). This is probably the best of them all. Buy it.

This is a kind of love it or hate it type book, type of prose that some just can't get into. However, if you are into this style of writing, you will enjoy it. A good short read. It's very reminiscent of Kafka.
