I'm not sure what it is about this book -- the characters, the timeline, the detail -- but it's one of my favorite books ever. I read this back in the late 1970s when it first came out (the first hardcover edition) and loved it, but this updated version, released in 1997, is even better somehow. More questions are answered and a few anachronisms are corrected, but enough is left to the imagination to get the reader to suspend their disbelief altogether willingly. The flavor of the 1970s isn't lost at all in the update. This is far and away Millhiser's best novel. If you read only one, choose this one. You will not be disappointed.
