Way Station

Summary: One of the best ever!
Review: Way Station is definitely one of the bestsci-fi books ever written. Very typically for Saimak, it is incrediblywarm and humane. In a way it leaves you a better person. END

Summary: This book deserves a second look
Review: When I first received WS I looked at it and thought, that sounds kind of good, I'll just set it in my pile of to books to read. When I finally got to it, I wished it had been closer to the top of my pile. The book has a feeling of simpleness, good naturedness, and the story pulls itself along. If you like Ray Bradbury you should give this a read. It will be on my self and re-read eventually, I will make a point of it

Summary: One of the best books I've read,
Review: When I was 12 years old, I discovered "science fiction". I read all the books I could find at the public library, and all of the stuff out of the boxes of old books my Dad had hidden in the attic. If I had to pick 3 books that impressed me most, this is at/near the top.

Summary: An old, old friend....
Review: Whenever I travel through the hills of SW Wisconsin I keep an eye open for Enoch Wallace's house. Simak has me convinced that it, and its owner, must be real. You cannot read this book without feeling that Enoch is an old, old friend. There is something about this 19th century man's lonely vigil through the centuries that seems right. Only a person so completely human could treat alien visitors with such unstinting hospitality- and humanity. They are just "folks", a might peculiar, but still folks. I can also believe that the old timers back in the hills would not give him up to outsiders if he did exist- not if he minded his own business, not if he belonged there.
