Summary: The Long and Wonderful Road of time...
Review: The book tells the story of a highway, not too far from here, that doesnt take people to destinations....it takes them to the future and the past. Red and his Robot sidekick (who is hilarious) are trying to evade 10 Assasins sent to kill them as they travel through time in their old pickup truck while looking for the road exit that leads them where they want to go... A Fun little book that a person can polish off in 3 hours or so and will enjoy it more that a movie for the same investment of time.... If you are a slower reader, have no fear... the highway of time in this book is Forgiving and will be waiting as long as it takes..Go to the Used bookstore/Online Auction and buy this Masterpeice!

Summary: The road goes ever on and on...
Review: Well! Have I got the show-and-tell story for you! I finished reading this book while riding on a lo-o-ong stretch of rural interstate highway, which I heartily commend to anyone reading this book! You'll never look at highways the same! (see below) So... The story revolves around the notion that out there, out on those dreary long roads and highways which we travel daily, bored out of our minds, there are a few hidden turnoffs and exits which those who know how to find them can access. These byways and underpasses lead to a completely different sort of roadway: a roadway in which Time stands still and exits now correspond to time zones measured not in hours but in centuries. And so the book involves time travel by a hero... I personally do not think this book is great, - maybe just outstanding. I did feel the ending was a little too applepie and Waltons' Mountain for my taste. The basic premise is wunderbar, but it does read like a great idea clothed in old pastiches from other Zelazny yarns: new wine in old wineskins. Any way, I do recommend it and did enjoy it - picked it up for a buck at a used bookshop. Reading time: about 5-6 funfilled and disorienting hours.
