One of the greatest books I've ever read!

Pros: One of the best books I've ever read!
Cons: No Cons.
The Bottom Line:
This is the one of the best books I've ever read! This made me - and everyone I've given this to - a Bester fan!
This is really one of the greatest books I've ever read! Alfred Bester has a special place in my heart. I can't believe he's gone, because it means that nobody will ever again write a story like him. I've given this book to many friends (and donated some copies to my old high school) and I have NEVER once had anyone tell me that they didn't give it 5 stars!
Seriously - not joking at all - this is one of the best books you'll ever read. Bester has a distinctive way of telling a story... not only does he write about telekenetic powers, but he SHOWS you! His style is amazing. I wish I could write like he did.
Bester, when writing this book, said he wanted to write it sort of like a sci-fi version of 'The Count of Monte Cristo.' The Count of Monte Cristo was the ultimate story of revenge for centuries. I think now it has competition!
This book is about FEELING what you read, and instilling in you an incredible joy upon finishing it. I really can't say enough about this book - hopefully after you read it, pass it along to all your friends, tell your former high school about it - you'll see what I mean and be equally as speechless!
