Product Description

Synopsis
Tells the story of a business establishment called the Psychoshop, a place where one can leave an unwanted aspect of their spirit, as long as they exchange it for something else, such as arcane knowledge or a change of luck, and all sales are final.

3.0 out of 5 stars I almost put it down, 17 Oct 1998
By A Customer
As a fan of Bester, I eagerly snatched up the latest offering. The book offered quite a surprise. I immediatley noticed a diiferent direction from Bester and about the middle of the book I found myself losing intrest.The characters seemed rather typical.I kept with it, however, and was pleased to find a transcendental world forming at the end. The finished product somehow reminded me of "The Illuminati".Psychoshop is not classic Bester but it is a good book none the less.

4.0 out of 5 stars Certainly Besterian, 4 Jul 1998
By A Customer
It's not The Demolished Man, it's no The Stars My Destination, but it's certainly Bester. I don't have any prior Zelazny experience to help determine what was his and what was Bester's, but there are noticeable style and pacing changes throughout the book. But don't let that stop you. Any Bester fan will find plenty to keep things interesting, and I personally find Psychoshop much closer to his first novels than his later works (Golem 100, The Computer Connection, etc.) which most readers tend to find inferior. Oh, and as an added bonus, keep your eyes open for the Burning Man ...

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I've read in a long time., 25 May 2000
I eagerly grabbed this latest Bester and was overjoyed with what I received. I read the book in a single day, almost without break. It's wit kept me going through the middle where things lag for a while. I felt that Zelazny added his touch almost seamlessly and the result was agreat book. Not as good as Demolished Man or Lord of Light but still a worthy contender for the pride of place on any book shelf.
