Book Review: The Mind Cage by A.E. Van Vogt
Writing Style-2.6
Originality-3.1
Plot-2.1
Merit(whatever that means)-0.2
Overall-1.0
This is cheesy 1950’s science fiction. Don’t bother. Unless, of course, you like cheesy 1950’s science fiction.
But, you know, if you do, in fact, enjoy cheesy 1950’s science fiction then you should at least read something with some brains and heart and pick up something by Philip K. Dick.
Because The Mind Cage is crap. I had it laying around the house for years and never read it for good reason until one day my dumb ass thought, ‘I gotta read this, I’ve had it forever.’ Bad move.
