It certainly is for Marvin, a college student who wants to take a really good vacation.

"I really hope Sheckley stays in print for decades to come. Douglas Adams gets all the credit for sci-fi satire, but Sheckley did it before and did it better.
This book might be very loosely compared to a grail-quest - or maybe Kerouac's On The Road - but with brain transplants. Hilarious and wonderful."
"I really should have stopped reading this sooner, but trudged on to the end anyway. Overly flowery language for a large portion and the dialog stinks."
"I liked this until about the two-thirds mark, when Sheckley made a determined effort to disappear up his own ass. People who know his canon better than I say he's at his best with short stories, and I'll be glad to give those a shot, but this one wound up being a letdown."
