About 6 or so years ago, my brother read this book, and loved it. And lately, I have been in a reading slump (don't ya hate that?) and he recommended me to read this one. So, recently I found it again at a used book store. (I had no idea it was still available, I thought it was out of print.) And I have to tell you. You can't go wrong with this one. It was fun reading, with never a dull moment. Just your basic old fashioned page turner. But it isn't exactly brain candy either, in fact, the book offers some interesting concepts on our vast universe. And the ending line will leave you with a laugh (it did for me anyway) So big brother was right. The book was great. You are in for a real treat! I highly recommend this one to all.
Happy Reading!

From all walks of life in a New Mexico city come a seething punk rocker, a cynical college student who's totally devoted to his assignments, and an arrogant blonde sexpot. They all meet by a sudden chance with a strange bowler with seven fingers on one hand and he happens to be on the lam from the police who look and behave quite oddly as well. And he's greatly protective of his own bowling ball - and for a very good reason! For this innocent-looking ball holds a very SURPRISING secret within that will never ever be revealed until the VERY END of the whole bizarre tale!
In great gratitude for his rescue from the weird cops, the mysterious bowler throws aside his disguise to take the three kids for a very dizzying spin in his flying saucer to a great sprawling megapolis far into outer space that is quite full of every species imaginable, including the ones from Alan Dean Foster's other book! Then the unlikely trio suddenly gets abandoned amongst luxuries at a very fancy alien hotel! So they must fend for themselves out on the streets...and protect the strange bowling ball from the pursuing alien monsters who are on a VERY HOT trail!
A very fast-paced fantasy adventure with such exciting action and unexpected turns at every corner! A very colorful experience that a sci-fi nut would truly relish in while he's on a little break from all that hi-tech mumbo-jumbo he's usually accustomed to! Oh, and you'd love all the very creative lewd names that Seeth so tenderly gives the lovely young "barbie doll" of Miranda!

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.

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.

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.

I bought this book many years ago when I was a teanager. It is still realevent to me today. The chacters in this book show us all sides our own humanity. Seeth the angry punk is our own anger at what is wrong in the world. The nerd Kerwin is our desire to fit in and find our place. Miranda our princess is just that our vanity and desires. Even Rail the lawn colored alien is us in the sense that we some times get caught in situations that just grow out of control. And finally there is little Izmir who is alot more than he or we seem. I highly recomend this book to anyone who has ever looked up at the night sky and wonder if there is more out there than we think.
