Whole book is written in first person
Be prepared to read anywhere from 2 to 6 "I"'s per sentence. It's tough to put up with, especially for a boring poorly written story.

Worth a Try
I love the story of Amber--the world building is truly fascinating.That said, I don't much care for Zalazny's writing style. You get such lines as, " 'Agreed,' I agreed." But I did like it well enough to pick up the next book, so perhaps that's telling enough about how captivating the story line is. :-)

Nice copy for its time
This is the first of a two volume set containing that part of Zelazny's Amber series which deals with Corwin, one of the princes of Amber. This volume contains the first two of the series, "Nine Princes in Amber" and "Guns of Avalon". It's nice to have both in hardback, but there is a new edition which has all 10 of the Amber novels written by Zelazny, so I would recommend that instead.

Very good piece of work.
This is a really great piece of fantasy. The only problem is there are a lot of typos in this book. That's why I only gave it a 4 star rating instead of 5. Someone should have proof read this first. There is a lot of action. Never a dull moment.

The Chronicles of Amber.... don't know how I missed it!
Terrific book, have not finished it... way too busy, but I am up to page 200, and I'm really enjoying it. Reminds me of the Rivalry my brother and I have always had... Same parents... hardly ever thinking the same way about almost any subject. This book is highly recommmended.
