The Stainless Steel Rat

Rating:
Summary: Supercool scamartist
Review: The stainless steel rat is such a good nickname for the main character of this story. I loved the fact that even though it is set in the future the scams that Harry Harrison writes about in the very beginning of the story are so believable. The characters, places and ideas are what make this book a winner how could I give it something less than 5 stars.

Rating:
Summary: Aliens, bad guys, time travel, and super spys
Review: The Stainless Steel Rat Wants You is everything Sci-Fi is about! From hi-tech wepons to a criminal on the right side of the law, every bit of this book is action-packed, edge-of-your-seat awsome. And thats a fact!

Rating:
Summary: Tiresome and chessy sci-fi
Review: This book, as can be gleaned from the title falls into the category of cheesy sci-fi. Reading it, I was reminded of the movie Zorro, as the plots are similar and the quality of both are roughly equivalent. I felt that the book embodied the worst of sci-fi; frivolity, bad style, lack of characterization, overall cheesiness.
