Review: The Stars My Destination (Alfred Bester)

The Stars My DestinationThe Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I read this book because it came highly recommended, though I don't see all the fuss. The story is ok, the pacing is good and breakneck, and it smells of inventiveness. But I didn't care for any of the characters, and the teleport/jaunte thing is too much of a stretch and not well thought out. It seems dated in some parts while thoroughly modern at others.

It is a good read, but it's a lightweight one. I read it as a palate cleanser between The Book of the New Sun and the Culture series, which I'm just now starting to read, so I didn't expect anything engrossing, but still, I thought it would be better.
