First off, the main character and first-person narrator, Tom Dunjer, had no business being as funny as he was. I probably spent more time grinning at the book than I did reading it.
Specterworld by Isidore Haiblum is an incredible, fast-paced, and very timely read. You'd be surprised (or wouldn't be, I suppose it depends) how well this story published in 1991 holds up!
I enjoy Haiblum's style of writing, and his descriptions, in this book—more often than not—his words helped paint a clear picture in my head (especially all those grays near the end). I definitely had a lot of fun reading Specterworld!
I'm ending this review with my favorite Dunjer-one-liner (he's a mood throughout):
"You're a laugh a minute, aren't you, you crazy kid you."
"Yeah, when I'm not sobbing hysterically."
