This quirky book will take you on a wild ride full of sexy aliens, mysterious women, demi-humans, and adventure. Fritz Leiber was a giant in the genre field. He won five Hugo Awards, three Nebula Awards, three world Fantasy Awards, and one Stoker Award and was a Science Fiction Writers of America Grand Master. His influence on science fiction, fantasy, and horror cannot be overstated.

Reviews for The Green Millennium
Rating: 3.2 out of 5 stars
3/5
5 ratings5 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If this book were made into a movie, it would be directed by Guy Ritchie. It is a crazy caper full of many odd characters including a husband and wife wrestling team, a witch, government agents, satyrs, criminals, gun-wielding psychoanalysts, and a green cat named Lucky. A fun, silly ride from start to finish.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A somewhat entertaining potboiler that's mainly going to interest Leiber fans at this point. There are some quite amusing (and silly) verbal exchanges, but don't expect any philosophical revelations. This is from Leiber's 'alcoholic' period, so it's interesting from that aspect. Leiber was more of a 'Weird Tales' writer than SF, as the short stories on the flip side of this Ace double demonstrate. For Leiber that will interest more literary readers, I suggest "Burn Witch Burn," "The Silver Eggheads," "Our Lady of Darkness," and The Fafhrd and Gray Mouser series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A cat-centered comic fantasy by a master of the sub-genre. Wild, improbable, and amusing.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A fairly dated and fairly sexist cold war romp in which our plea for cosmic help just may have been answered in the form of a verdant mouser. Fast-paced and amusing.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Sometimes Leiber is good and sometimes he writes clever rubbish. This is the later. Could not finish it. Clever dialogue in a Monty Python script. It's silly without any laughs. Not SF.
