Summary: Another Classic from Zelazny
Review: A beautifully wrought tale of a mans spiritual journey to the realization of self.I think sometimes people do not catch Zelazny's work because they do not see the undercurrents at work in his writing. In most of his best work there are two levels to read upon. I hope, most fervently, that I can achieve that kind of greatness in mine someday.

Summary: Great experimental fiction
Review: A great book because it makes you realize a story does not have to be told sequentially and thus makes you question the nature of time - a theme central to the book's plot. If you like this you also will probably like Zelazny's "Doorways in the Sand" and "Lord of Light."

Summary: Non-linear time and reality trip.
Review: Awesome! This book tells a fairly simple story, but it's setting and mood are great. Plus, Zelazny tells it in a non-linear fashion, perfect for a time-travel story. Well suited to the hypertext age. Despite some of the cheesy elements, images from this book stay with you. It's a good short read, although a little jumbled. But that only makes it worth going back to the second time.

Summary: Average Zelazny yarn...
Review: For a blazing read, please look into this book. I finished its 185 pages in two days. It's just too bad that it was a weak read. The plot, while reminiscent of Philip Jose Farmer's "Riverboat" series (which contained a cast of characters/real people from history all living at the same time), isn't very focused. Zelazny never quite figures out whether he is going to focus on the time-traveling 'Road' and who created it/why it is there, or whether he is interested in the idea of talking about famous people or places from times past. The chapters bounced around like a cat on a lit hibachi, and only coalesced in the last 70 pages of the book. This time vasolation was clearly meant to play on the idea that the characters are playing with time, but this created a chaotic narrative for the reader, making it difficult to remember what happened earlier in the book. While I thought this was an enjoyable book with some truly humorous pages and some interesting takes on time travel, overall I cannot give it more than 3 of 5 stars. An overall disappointment for a strong Zelazny supporter such as myself.

Summary: RATHER GOOD STUFF HERE - ESP IF YOUR A ZELAZNY FAN
Review: I first read this one in 1979, and was rather taken with it at that time. I truely enjoyed it. Recently, I came across it in a box of books in my attic, dusted it off (good grief, a mouse had had it's way with it - groan) and read it again. As with my first reading, I enjoyed it just as much. Now I do admit to being a big Amber fan, so maybe that is part of what did it for me. I also enjoy time travel stories. The book is written in a light fashion, a fashion meant to be enjoyed and to entertain and does this well. I suspect it may not be everyones cup of tea, but for Zelazny fans, it will be a treat. I very much recommend this one...if you can find it.

Summary: Too Short!! I Wanted More!!
Review: I recently reread Roadmarks. I had forgotten what a great (but short!) book it is. Highly recommended for all science fiction and fantasy fans, and even those who like a good road story. It has lots of famous cameos - whom not all I could identify -- and some great twists and turns. I only wish it had been longer or had spawned a sequel! This is an extremely easy book to read, and has a great lead character with the requisite mechanical side-kick. It's so good you'll wish the book was twice as long.

Summary: Great Book...Hard to follow.
Review: I thought that this was a wonderful book, and unlike some of his other books, it didn't have a weak ending. The only reason that I gave it an 8 was that I thought that it was a little hard to follow, because the viewpoint skip from character to character. The Road is a concept that only a great author like Roger Zelazny could think up. If you're a fan of his other books, you will probably like this book, which is written in a 'light fantasty ' style, in contrast to his other books.

Summary: Best Story
Review: I wish that there was a series such as the Amber books that take up the stories of the road. I like a hero with out too many super powers. Its sad that with the author gone this can never be. But this book is a stand alone version of the best of Zelazny. You should definetly give it a read.
