Yep, 100% agreement there. I read both the Amber series and Striper Assassin
(Working on "Shadowplay" now ;) and I didn't care much for Nyx Smith's style.
Zelazny though wrote probibly the best books I've ever read (Right up there
with Douglas Adams :) and I'd recommend the 2 amber series to anyone who likes
fast paced adventure books.
