<div dir="ltr">For me, _An Evil Guest_ started out as a real page turner and kept my interest all the way through. And I usually become bored with books in a very short time. Wolfe and Jack Vance are two writers who almost always keep me reading. So for me, I do not agree with the latter review.<br>

The Strange Horizons review captures a great deal of what I think about<br>
Wolfe, especially recent works such as "Memorare," _Pirate Freedom_ and now<br>
_Evil Guest_. All have hidden depths that make them well worth exploring<br>
and reward rereading, but am I the only one who feels that Wolfe is on the<br>
verge (if not past it) of making the initial reading experience off-putting?<br>
