Title: Quirky but sometimes annoying
Review: I don't know if I can really comment on Pohl as an author, having only read this and Drunkard's Walk. Anyway, this book is entertaining about half the time and aggravating the other half. I actually like Dopey, one of the aliens. The human characters are ok.. but sometimes too one-dimensional. At times he could do a better job of describing them so we can visualize. The fairly frequent sexual references are indeed a snore. There are grammatical errors and sometimes the sentence structure is not pleasant to read. I don't think I will get the sequel.
