The Green Millennium

A fairly dated and fairly sexist cold war romp in which our plea for cosmic help just may have been answered in the form of a verdant mouser. Fast-paced and amusing.

This was great, so much fun, it's like the author sat down and just wrote a stream of consciousness, no plotting at all, very enjoyable.

A somewhat entertaining potboiler that's mainly going to interest Leiber fans at this point. There are some quite amusing (and silly) verbal exchanges, but don't expect any philosophical revelations. This is from Leiber's 'alcoholic' period, so it's interesting from that aspect. Leiber was more of a 'Weird Tales' writer than SF, as the short stories on the flip side of this Ace double demonstrate. For Leiber that will interest more literary readers, I suggest "Burn Witch Burn," "The Silver Eggheads," "Our Lady of Darkness," and The Fafhrd and Gray Mouser series.

If this book were made into a movie, it would be directed by Guy Ritchie. It is a crazy caper full of many odd characters including a husband and wife wrestling team, a witch, government agents, satyrs, criminals, gun-wielding psychoanalysts, and a green cat named Lucky. A fun, silly ride from start to finish.

Sometimes Leiber is good and sometimes he writes clever rubbish. This is the later. Could not finish it. Clever dialogue in a Monty Python script. It's silly without any laughs. Not SF.

A cat-centered comic fantasy by a master of the sub-genre. Wild, improbable, and amusing.

Cute.
