Met Al m_et_al — This is an amazing testimonial of what it is like to live on a reservation in America as a Native American. Alexie has a way of capturing the absolute truth about life as an Indian on the "Rez"

Monisha Pillai monishapillai — I was dissatisfied with the book over all. I need to believe in the characters and I really didn't like Dr. Faraday in particular. I kept waiting for something to happen that would really draw me into the the characters...never happened. I think the most disconcerting part for me was the dog being put down. The book left me rather wanting.

Margarita Mayatskaya _amask_ose — This is one of Roger Zelazny's two Hugo nods--in this instance he shared the award with Frank Herbert's Dune (and yes, that means I will have to try to read that stinker before this project is done. Ugh.) In any event, Zelazny is a total stud, or would become one eventually with his series, The Chronicles of Amber. Not yet in possession of his nimble facility for weaving modern dialogue and characters into traditional sci-fi and fantasy milieus, Zelazny doesn't quite hit on all cylinders in This Immortal. The original title for the novel was "And Don't Call Me Conrad," referencing our main character, who serves as tour guide for a visiting dignitary of the Earth's rulers, the Vegans. They've taken over the planet after some sort of apocalypse, and Conrad shows him around while protecting him from mutant humans who want the Vegan dead. Vega plans to double down on its rule of earth, so everyone has an interest in stopping it. It comes together nicely in the end, with some clever twists. In all the main attraction here is its striking difference with much of the sci-fi lit of its time (mid-60s); Zelazny traffics in seedy characters who are anything but noble. Self-service is the name of the game for his players, and it works to see him try that device out here, in his early years, even if the story bogs down in certain places.
