This was a great book; I'm glad I finally got around to reading it. The setting, with it's mix of fantasy, science fiction, mysticism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, is exceptionally clever and well written. The characters and plot are likewise engaging; you really feel like the main character, Sam, is a figure out of legend. I can certainly see why this is an often-cited book among the science fiction community.
