5.0 out of 5 stars Hysterical and outstanding, November 7, 1999
By Carl A. Lund "copeknight" (Wichita, KS United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
One of Foster's greatest works, Glory Lane, equally enjoyable for adults or YAs, has a wonderfully retro sense of wonder to it. The colorful aliens and majestic backdrop of a densely settled space mesh nicely with well drawn, yet easily identifiable, almost stock, characters. It's a joy to read and re-read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully Delightful book about humanity, March 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Glory Lane (Hardcover)
I bought this book many years ago when I was a teanager. It is still realevent to me today. The chacters in this book show us all sides our own humanity. Seeth the angry punk is our own anger at what is wrong in the world. The nerd Kerwin is our desire to fit in and find our place. Miranda our princess is just that our vanity and desires. Even Rail the lawn colored alien is us in the sense that we some times get caught in situations that just grow out of control. And finally there is little Izmir who is alot more than he or we seem. I highly recomend this book to anyone who has ever looked up at the night sky and wonder if there is more out there than we think.

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely one of the most important books i own, February 21, 2000
By Aaron Almanza (san francisco) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Glory Lane (Hardcover)
its strange, when i found out the paperback copy of Glory Lane was out of print I was quickly at second hand book stores buy every copy so i could give it out as gifts to everyone I know. So far abut 20 copies have passed through my hands. Glory Lane is by far the best of Foster's work. Not to say his others are not great, just no where near the degree of Glory Lane. Granted its not the greatest work in literture on a scholarly level, but on a pure human emotional level you can't get any better.
