5.0 out of 5 stars Can't beat this Bester bargain, June 6, 2009
What if in some distant future all they knew about us was from old Hollywood films, and just bits and pieces of them at that? What if those people then decided to build their society around those fragments?
Take that basic premise, throw in a crime spree, a few Hollywood stars, Bester's masterful writing and slightly quirky sense of humor and what you have is a quick(Under 50 pages) fun read.
While I wouldn't put this in the same class as The Stars My Destination and The Demolished Man it is a must for any fan of his work and although I would have prefered this to be released in a collection of his works, the fact it is reasonably well priced, eases any discontentment I may feel on that matter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bester at his best..., May 19, 2009
By Andres Pedraza (Poconos, PA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Alfred Bester was a master at the short story with a twist type of tale. Most of his stories feature likable but bizarre characters and psychological twists. The story featured in this small tome (48 pages) is a good example of his work. It looks like Bester neglected to copyright this story and that's why someone chose it to be packaged on its own in a well produced paperback? Anyway, this story can be found in one or two of Bester's anthologies. It's worth reading, but whether it's worth paying 5 bucks for on its own is up to each customer.
