No matter how much I like Zelazny, I didn’t really like this book. Too many religious and philosophical questions in there for my taste (so call me shallow). It felt more like a sophisticated (or should I say SCIFIsticated) debate than a real novel. Zelazny and Dick wrote it masterfully, did good job with the characters and all, but I prefer a story for the sake of story itself rather than stories that serve for proving or exploring a point. Not my cup of tea.
