Reason for Reading: Classic Sci-Fi

Overall, I really enjoyed this book.  Perfection must be maintained at all costs.  Constantly reminded me of Hitler in the beginning of the book. 

Excellent book.  Extremely funny (not sure if that was his intention or not, but it was).  I love the way Simak took ordinary things, like bowling balls and dolls and dogs, and turned them into things not so ordinary.  The book flows completely from beginning to end (although the end is rather abrupt).  Parker and Joy almost made alien hunting seem fun!

I enjoyed this story.  It was easy to read and was quite fun at times.  The only problem I had was the amount of exposition...not a fan.  I enjoyed the ending quite a bit.  Makes me hunger for adventure.
