"A Master!"
- Locus
“Like Heinlein in his prime, Mr. Robinson writes a crisp, tightly controlled prose about a future that is recognizably descended from today’s world, yet provocatively altered.”
- The New York Times
"If one were given the task of creating Spider Robinson from scratch, the best way to do it would be to snatch James Joyce from history, force-feed him Marx Brothers films and good jazz for the better part of a decade, then turn him loose on a world badly in need of a look at itself."
- Vancouver Sun
"Nobody's perfect. But Spider comes pretty damned close."
- Ben Bova
"Spider Robinson is the hottest writer to hit science fiction since Harlan Ellison, and he can match the master’s frenetic energy and emotional intensity, arm-break for gut-wrench.”
- The Los Angeles Times
"Spider Robinson is the Tom Robbins of the 21st century."
- John Varley
"Spider Robinson is a master storyteller…"
- Allen Steele
[Spider Robinson] "embodies the best of Sturgeon, Heinlein, and Asimov."
- David Gerrold
"Robinson's creative imagination is admirable."
- Publishers Weekly
