"This book is a classic. The expression of human loneliness is haunting and it describes the levels to which we humans will go to try and replace our humanity with more "things", things thathelp us take our minds off of those "other" things that really matter. It is also a warning to mankind, not a prediction, of what lay ahead on this road we travel where humanity seeks to trade freedom for security and materialism. Great Book."

"It contains three of my all-time favorite stories. It features humor, adventure, gritty atmosphere, an endearing cast of characters like 'Sailor' Steve Costigan and his beloved bulldog Mike, not to mention a good mix of realistic and slapstick violence, and strong thematic impact. All this and it is easy and fun to read...what more could you want?"
