I'm not used to this kind of writing, but I loved it. I think I'll re-read it many times.

A guy who is conceited and vane but becomes human in the end. Beautiful.
Welcome to the world of Zelazny, Strife. Zelazny was a true master. The Amber books are wonderful in their own right, but represent just a single facet of a truly diverse talent. If Amber is all you've read, you have some great treats in store... I envy you.
