The Stainless Steel Rat Wants You Audiobook

" The description on the site is for the wrong book. THis is a about The Stainless Steel Rat and not Bill the Galatic Hero. "

" Read like Terry Pratchett (a funny fantasy writer), was very entertaining. Except for the one part were the author obviously is getting on a soapbox about capital punishment, there was no reason for it to be in the library's discarded books sale. "

" I'd read Harrison's Deathworld books as a kid and picked this up remembering how much I'd enjoyed them--in grade school! I was disappointed, but then again my tastes had changed. This novel and this series are bits of fluff, not to be taken seriously, but entertaining, even funny, sometimes. "

" Harry Harrison's rat books are always good for a laugh and although the plot is occasionally thin as in this one, they never fail to entertain "

" standard ssr fare - slippery jim sets out to rescue his angelina and ends up saving the universe again! the adventures of the rat and his family are enjoyable light brain candy and not meant to be taken serious, and never should they be! "

" Maybe his most famous book. I enjoyed it pretty well but it didn't convert me to a big fan of the series. I've not read any others. "

" Funniest thing ever. A total potato-chip book, and it doesn't take a bunch of brain cells to read, but it's good for a laugh. Who else has champagne in their emergency survival kit but Jim DiGriz? NO ONE! "

" More Stainless steel rat - best read in order "

" I absolutely fell in love with the Stainless Steel Rat series. They are goofy, fast paced, and humorous sci-fi books. It was my first introduction to Harry Harrison and also my first time ever reading a comedic sci-fi book. I loved both of them immediately. "

" When I read this the first time when I was a young teenager I thought this series was awesome. After many years and re-reading it, I realize it is only good. Still, I am giving it 5 stars since that was my initial reaction when I first read it. "

" Not as bad as the last one The metaplot from the second book was a plus too Still "

" It was ok. Not sure I'd recommend but always he kept a good sense of humor mixed in. As always with SSR, plot moves quickly. "

" I fell in love with The Stainless Steel Rat books based on this. My teen years became full of harry Harrison and I do not regret a thing. "

" Fun stuff; one of the middle adventures of Slippery Jim de Griz. Kind of a mock heroic novel--Spy Kids meets the Simpsons, maybe, because Jim brings his equally felonious family. "

" The Stainless Steel Rat series was an excellent and entertaining read. "

" Same attitude.. I fun fast "read"/listen. The narrator is great and adds to the attitude/humor/feel of the book. There is the straight-ahead action, first-person narrative. This book does have a few fun twists with they gray-men and the "morality leaders". Fun in an adolescent way. "

" Still great fun, but these are prequels and have a less edgy feel. Worth a read but go for the originals first "

" Yummy pulp scifi from my younger days. "

" i really liked this book! funny, fast paced, AWESOME, etc. "

" 'loved this book... Harry Harrison is funny in all his books, but I especially loved these first few in the Stainless Steel Rat series. "
