5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVED it!, July 7 2004
By Ampbreia (Everett, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: RACE AGAINST TIME (Mass Market Paperback)
Here's the description from the back cover notably missing here:

"John Smith is just a typical teenager growing up in a typical American town in 1960... or is he? He has a dog - that can climb trees and understand very complex comands. He has parents - who watch him constantly, taking notes when they think he's not looking. He has a girlfriend - a girl he's never met, who he has been told he must marry.

John knows that something is wrong, but until he crosses the boundary fence late one night, he realize just how much. For wherever, whenever he lives, it is definitely NOT America, circa 1960."

It's a pretty trippy little story. I like that. You know, the whole walking along through normal reality and then unexpectedly dropping off a cliff into the Twilight Zone. That's exactly what this story does.

1.0 out of 5 stars The single worst book I've ever completed, Nov 12 1997
By Travis Cottreau (Wellington, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It was obvious that Piers Anthony was ad libbing this book. It was so in need of editing, and so random that I'm amazed I finished it.

4.0 out of 5 stars He should've waited some time before he wrote this boook!, Oct 10 1997
When I read the other review I just had to comment. This WAS an interesting book, but it was a bit childish. It is as if Piers Anthony had several interesting ideas, but didn't really know how to write a novel about them - the results seems confused and unconvincing. I think it's a book to read when you REALLY have nothing else to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Let This One Slip By!
One of his best, and often overlooked because it isn't in a series. Piers describes a world of the future where all human beings have "evolved" into one race, and the... Read more
