alfred-bester/the-stars-my-destination reviews The Stars My Destination by *Alfred Bester* is a scifi classic, and most of those don't work for me. This one was better than average, but I still felt like I was in a weird dream. I have a low tolerance for people behaving horribly and/or stupidly at the moment, which is certainly part of it. I enjoyed the exploration of what the power of personal teleportation at a whim would do to society, and I laughed at the outrageously absurd parts of the novel, but the middle part felt like a drag, not due to lack of action, but due to the characters being weird/horrible/stupid or alternating between those three in rapid succession. 2019-05-05 The Stars My Destination #885f12 0679767800 9780679767800       1955 http://covers.openlibrary.org/b/isbn/9780679767800-L.jpg 258   3
