zelephante 's review for:

Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny
4.0

I picked up my copy at a fantastic used bookstore in Greenfield, MA, and it's so old it doesn't have a barcode or isbn to scan. Therefore I've missed out on the introduction the last bloke mentioned.
Anyway, I was expecting science fiction with overtones of eastern mythology. What I read was an amazingly palatable rerendering of many spiritual teachings I've often struggled to comprehend. It's like reading a wonderfully lush history, without getting bored off my rocker by redundancy and uninspired rhetoric.
I am now a firmly solidified Zelazny fan!
