Rating: Summary: One of my top 20 of all time Review: Definitely a classic in the genre. I have only read a few Alan Dean Foster novels, but this one and The Man Who Used The Universe are in my "worth-5-reads" category. Being a computer nerd myself, I always enjoy escapist stories where the nerd gets cool powers and has adventures with pretty chicks. Harrison's To The Stars trilogy is one of my favorites too. I only have good things to say about The I Inside!

Rating: Summary: excellent scifi Review: I can only emphasise what other reviewers have already said, this is an excellent book. What I wanted to point at is the various similarities between this book and the famous Matrix movie.... really makes me wonder if the brothers read this book, there are a few elements in this book which have been used in the movie, which would make it too much of a coincidence. highly recommendated
Rating: Summary: Alan Dean Foster's best book Review: I've read a number of Foster's books and The I Inside is flat out his best book. It's the story of superman who never figures out he's superman.

Rating: Summary: One of my favorite of Alan Dean Foster's Books Review: If you like Alan Dean Foster books at all, you will like this one. It is a compelling read from beginning to end. A very unique and interesting story with lots of good plot twists. Giving much more information about the story will probably give things away. I hate that.

Rating: Summary: Very Inspiring for a young mind with dreams Review: It has been while since I read the I Inside. The technology to write review that everyone could read world wide was just a dream of those of us with an imagination big enough. It is a story that many us would like to believe in but reality won't let it happen. If you have ever day dreamed about something impowering you to take control of you life. Then this book is for you
Rating: Summary: A love story with a twist. The ULTIMATE Obsession.......... Review: Quite possibly one of the most ambitious and alternative love stories ever. Combining all the essential ingrediants that go to make a great Sci-Fi stew, this has action and adventure, cemented together against a romantic plot.
When Eric Abbott glimpses the girl through the window of a passing car, he knows nothing will stop him from meeting her. He soon learns that other people feel differently about this, and will do anything to keep them apart. Anything.
As he quest to meet the woman of his dream intensifies, Abbott discovers abilities he never knew he had, and his love for the mystery woman could prove to be not only his own undoing, but all of mankinds.
Quite possibly one of the best example of the genre, you have to read The I Inside. From cover to cover it's a rollercoaster ride you won't want to get off!
Rating: Summary: An infatuation leads to extra-terrestrial warfare! Review: This book is one of a little known work of Foster's that gets lost in the shuffle because he's written so much and so much better. But this speaks highly for his writing talent - this book is damned good, and few people know about it. The Ultimate Infatuation: You see a woman in a car as you're walking down the street, and you drop everything, literally, to meet her. Nothing can stop you. Your life is meaningless if you cannot be with her. This is how the novel starts, and set in an era when alien contact is a reality (and the aliens can teleport at will), how in a little genetic cloning, interplanetary gates, and an invasion, and you have a novel that makes ID4 look tame - you could punch the aliens in ID4, these guys just teleport away. It's an excellent novel, and the hero has some very real moments (he is so upset at one point that he shuts a communication off momentarily so he can weep) that makes this novel shine.
