Summary: Surreal
Comment: Very surreal, with a lot of sex (but most of it used for atmosphere) and a continuously changing narrator that sometimes left me lost. But I loved it. My biggest piece of advice is that if you get bored in the middle, keep reading. Erickson ties everything up in the last 100 pages rather spectacularly.
Don't expect everything to make a lot of sense in this book. People suddenly end up in different times and different places just by walking down a hallway or into a field, characters are found dead in the middle of the novel and then show up in the end as a kind of flashback. Like I said, very surreal and dreamlike. It's not really sci-fi although some of it is set in a somewhat futuristic, noir dystopia.
Rating: 5
Summary: a whirlwind of truth
Comment: This is a creative work than spawns further than the imagination will typically allow. This is an exuberant blend of creativity to come to the truth about the soul, and the reality of that wich posseses it, or vice versa. A must read, if your willing to be exposed to the insane chaos it may reveal. 5+

Summary: Out of print for good reason, I suspect
Comment: Erickson can't write. He really can't. There's some vaguely memorable scenes (more like figments of scenes), but the writing is so poor it really isn't worth it.
