Summary: Excellent and age-spanning
Review: I first read Glory Lane about five or six years ago and then resurrected it for my teen-age son. This book has become one of the few books that he and I both liked immensly. That the action takes place in our hometown makes it more fun than ever. Every aspect of it is believable. Assuming that aliens exist, every part of this adventure could actually happen. This is what makes it great. You can take this leap into fantasy, knowing that it could become a reality.

Summary: It creates a human comentary you can't stop thinking about.
Review: I first read this book when I was in highschool. Since then I've probably bought it and read it more times than I can count and I still find the sarcastic humor both enlightening and funny. Mr. Foster creates a truly alien society that is both fantastic but all too familiar.I think that what I found most impressive was the way that the book made fun of the "responsible" character while the characters who are the stereotypical "irresponsible" were able to fit into the alien society. That says a lot about our human culture's ideas of acceptable mores.

Summary: great fun, a nice satire of SF
Review: I greatly enjoyed reading the book, partly because of the constantly quarreling protagonists' witty dialogues, partly because I had the impression that this is the work of an accomplished SF writer who decided to have a break from all those more or less serious (and thereby often tedious) SF stories and decided to simply have fun writing this one, a fun I easily and light-heartedly joined into. Yes, we cann seek out a deeper meaning and critique of our human civilization in this book, but that's an integral part of satire. Most important to this text is that it is tremendous fun to read.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: I've read many of Alan Dean Foster's novels and this one was one of the best. It was story about three teen agers, of total different personalities.They then get caught up into an inter-galactic war which they try to help their friend deliver a highly valuable "Thing" that many races want.It's also has humor which is a needed aspect in any novel.

Summary: absolutely one of the most important books i own
Review: its strange, when i found out the paperback copy of Glory Lane was out of print I was quickly at second hand book stores buy every copy so i could give it out as gifts to everyone I know. So far abut 20 copies have passed through my hands. Glory Lane is by far the best of Foster's work. Not to say his others are not great, just no where near the degree of Glory Lane. Granted its not the greatest work in literture on a scholarly level, but on a pure human emotional level you can't get any better.

Summary: So fun & funny I had to find it again!
Review: My best friend gave me this book years ago and I loved it so much I wore it out! I lost it recently and had to get a new copy. You will enjoy this hilarious romp through the universe. It was everything I'd want in a science fiction novel!
Rating:
Summary: Hysterical and outstanding
Review: One of Foster's greatest works, Glory Lane, equally enjoyable for adults or YAs, has a wonderfully retro sense of wonder to it. The colorful aliens and majestic backdrop of a densely settled space mesh nicely with well drawn, yet easily identifiable, almost stock, characters. It's a joy to read and re-read.
