Nine Princes in Amber

I really like Roger Zelazny. Even when I don't care for a book of his, I still like the writing and the imagination that went into it. So it was high time I started the Amber series, his magnum opus. This is his first book of the series and I wasn't disappointed. As I've come to expect, it features a main character who is heroic, or maybe a little anti-heroic, who may have great powers but also has an average person sensibility to him. It also has the beginnings of great world-building. The edition I have was only about 155 pages, and there are ten books in the series, so I realize that a lot more world-building will go on. The writing, as always, is tight, and is generally dialogue driven.
