3.0 out of 5 stars A little slow but well worth reading, Dec 30 2001
By "icshi" (Ridgecrest, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mind Cage (Paperback)
Though this is by no means Van's best novel - written as it was at the forefront of his second wave of output that peaked in the 70s - the brilliant and unexpected turns in the last few chapters of the book make the sometimes dull plot worth enduring.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not one of his best, but still VAN-VOGT., May 26 2000
By "phyed-rautha" (Rishon Le Zion Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mind Cage (Paperback)
This is a well-built book. Allthough not one of those crazy, mind-blowing, and half psichodellic books that van-vogt often unleashes at us, its a good one. It has the tipical plot twists and lead charecter that makes you think-" Damn! now that's a man!", and ofcourse a few females that cant be trusted. Buy it if youre a van-vogt fan or if you want to "taste" him but consider yourself a "down to earth sci-fi reader".

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really worth reprinting, Jun 4 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mind Cage (Paperback)
Van Vogt is known for his prolific output of mediocre stuff. This book is a real van Vogt as per style and per themes, but it is pretty run of the mill. Even in the classics (Slan, Isher, Null-A, The Silkie) there are weaknesses. Weaknesses abound here, not really worth reading.
