A review by mantaman0a
Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny
5.0
You know you have read a sizzling awesome book when:
1) You pick it at random, in some random place, and then finish it in just 2 days
2) Suddenly your world blurs, because you are so lost in the story, and your every other thought away from the book is, what happens next, what happens next
3) Stuck in a library without your book, you actually stalk the Fiction section looking for it so you can continue reading the same story, in a (physically) different book (i like how that gels very nicely with the themes in this story, like the idea of transmigration)
4) You actually feel a deep sense of loss when you hit the last words of the last paragraph of the last chapter, almost like the dying closing strains of a grand symphony at the close of a great performance
That's all. This isn't a review per se. This is all i experienced as i read this strange, breathtaking and audacious novel, so far ahead of its time, even today. Past and present in one unending circle, a beautiful rainbow coloured ourobouros.
