Another masterpiece from Sheckley

Robert Sheckley may not technically be the best novelist ever but if its creative ideas and off-beat humour you want look no further. Perhaps his collaboration with Zealany helped to keep the story more consistent. Other reviewers have complained that in other books he jumps about without making a proper novel (this is because his overworked brain is cooking up infinitely more mad ideas per day than most SF authors manage in a lifetime). I've been a fan of his ever since I read Mindswap in 1970's (In which the hero takes a cheap holiday by swapping minds with a alien). This is another Sheckley classic as funny as T. Pratchet, D. Adams etc. If you want a proper story go read War and Peace ...I've read just about everything he's written and this is one of his very best, you will not be disappointed
