One of the best Bill books out there

This is easily my favorite Bill book, and most of my friends put it high up on their list too. I think anyone would have a good time reading it.

Nothing quite like a Galactic hero

I must say that this being the first Bill bookI ever read, it was what got me hooked. A few things like the stone foot, and the elephant foot sprout weren't all that clear in the beginning because the stone foot's from the previous book, and then there's the two inch fangs and a black arm on the wrong side (but all that was explained in the first book which is another CLASSIC....well, except the foot thing) But after starting it I couldn't put it down. Harrison's unique and often farcical style is what makes this book a keeper. Many of the funniest things were small simple plays on words. Anyway, if you find yourself a copy of this book, GIVE IT TO ME! It's impossible to find, I got it from the library and it was gone the next time I looked for it, NEVER LET GO OF BILL BOOKS! EVER! I loaned volume 1 to my friend and I never got it back! >:- (

Bill is the best hero ever!

The book is a spoof on the alien movies, and is the best Bill the Galactic Hero book I have ever read. Harry Harrison does an excellent job in writing this funny yet suspensful book. A masterpiece of science fiction and comedy all rolled into one book. Don't start this book at night if you have to get up in the morning.

Bill The Greatest Galactic Hero Ever!

Bill the galactic hero is one of the geatest comedy action scifi characters of All time. His bizaare antics and his clumsyness are both so entertaining and suspenseful. I think bill should get his own movie soon.
