outcolder's review against another edition
3.0
The first half was fun: kind of like that cartoon “Archer” but with a 1970s Mick Jagger playing the lead... which shows how either ahead of its time this 60s book was or else what an influence it had. The second half was a bit stranger with those lovable hollow earth nazis I had thought were a Church of the Subgenius invention... yeash, we find ourselves in a time when I feel compelled to add that only fictional nazis can be lovable...
The gender bending and other queer elements were also very cool, not belabored, and yet somehow very plausibly moving to the center of the story as the vampirism comes into focus.
So, like, 10 out of 10 for coolness but not really as exciting for me as his swords and sorcery stuff.

Almost in the vein of James Bond. Extremely quirky with some elements of science fiction blended into the mix. A super spy perhaps, a gratuitous female love/lust interest. Incest? AI? Sexual depravity? Secret headquarters with booby traps? Family strife? Borderline too strange to be phenomenal, but still an intriguing read.

An incredibly strange, rambling, borderline nihilistic sci-fi novel with Brechtian pretensions, sex, rock music, and lots of weird metaphysics. I loved it.

totalmente aburrido, me dormí varias veces leyendolo... además, no se llegaba a entender la historia y la narración era muy redundante.

I have a feeling I missed something integral to the text and I have no idea what it is.
