If you liked the previous book from the author (Legends & Latte) then you might like this one as well. I haven't liked this one that much, since it felt... Maybe too adventurous? I enjoyed the main focus of Legends & Latte because it was exactly opposite of that - just about a coffee shop with a little bit of drama but just much more cozy and relaxed. 

It's a classic for a reason, one of the best books I've read in a while. Can't wait to see the movie now.

The progression of Charlie Gordon (and Algernon!) is written just fantastically - it is an incredibly bittersweet story of gaining intelligence and still desire so much more. Highly recommended.

“Gully Foyle is my nameAnd Terra is my nation.Deep space is my dwelling place,The stars my destination.”

I haven't heard about Alfred Bester before and just dived in, not expecting much, despite the book having great reviews. And what a fantastic read!

Main protagonist Gully Foyle is despicable, only driven by revenge and I was absolutely captivated by him. The story itself is nothing incredibly new but the world building is just top notch and I found myself thinking about it all the time.

I still can't believe how immersed I was, how many great ideas were in the story and you just wouldn't know the book is from 1956 - on the contrary the age of it might just help. Must read if you're a fan of sci-fi, highly recommended.

This book renewed my interest in fantasy genre. Neil Gaiman's world building is just amazing, his depiction of London Below was extremely captivating.
I am sincerely sad there is not a second book.

Highly recommended.
