This is my first Silverberg novel, and it was quite enjoyable. On occasion, some of the style became a little too clogged for my taste, but in all, it worked well. There is a forward explaining some of the process he went through creating this story, and I believe that was an excellent move. Without that insight, I’d have been a lot more impatient when the prose became quite repetitive.
I would call this a light story. It’s a far cry from the hard-science and military SciFi I’ve been reading. A welcome relief. I do have one criticism of the Kindle presentation: There are far too many typos throughout the book. It looks like the original, printed version was scanned with a cheap scanner, then simply uploaded. No proofing involved. Randomly and throughout, ‘I’ is displayed as the numeral one; letters are missing from words; the shows up as Dh; the list is fairly long. Since the story and writing are absolutely fantastic, the typos were really rather jarring.
