There is a reason it won the HUGO in 1953.Unfortunately this e-edition seems to have been rushed. It is filled with typographical errors, which are made more annoying because the author used odd typography to help you fell the setting. For instance, one character is named 1/4main (Quartermain), and another is Wyg (Wygand). I am NOT saying these examples are mistakes, but somehow every instance of the word "marry" is spelled "many". There are numerous other instances. I hope it will be cleaned up.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.One Hell of a ReadBy Peter CarrierWell-paced and flowed very nicely. The simplicity that made pacing and flow such a joy worked against the prose, however. While not mediocre, it was a bit... wanting. Even still, there are some enjoyable passages: “The law,” he remarked, “makes the silliest damned fuss about death. People die by the thousands every day; but simply because someone has had the energy and enterprise to assist old D’Courtney to his demise, the law insists upon turning him into an enemy of the people. I think it’s idiotic, but please don’t quote me.”The story delivers on all fronts; antagonist and protagonist are introduced in questionable circumstance; they are 'real' people, complete with virtue and vice; they both have the audience rooting for them at various points, often at the same time. Even the support characters are introduced with a tongue-cheek appeal; "He kissed her casually. She was as shapely as a sales-curve, pretty, but a trifle too young." Add to this the conflict, the reason for the conflict and the agreement Reich and Powell come to as they begin their opposition before they engage in the conflict. It was great.Almost like Bester said to himself, "What's better than a 'who-done-it' How about having the cop be a telepath. That way, he can read the mind of his suspect, KNOW the person is guilty and STILL have to prove it the hard way!" Confirmation of the crime in less than a second but still the agony of proving it beyond reasonable doubt. Awesome. But the real stroke of genius here was having the judge, for lack of a better term, be a 'computor': "His mouth, the cone of a speaker, hung open in a kind of astonishment at human stupidity. His hands, the keys of a multiflex typewriter, poised over a roll of tape, ready to hammer out logic."Good, good stuff. Some good twists, too. Some are predictable, but still entertaining. The reader is also treated to more of Bester's observations of human behavior, too; "Despite all rival claims, pawnbroking is still the oldest profession. The business of lending money on portable security is the most ancient of human occupations." Another that was rather droll: "“Damn it! Don’t you tell me that’s a Glow-wart. It’s a weed. Don’t I know a weed when I see it Hand me the rake, Bernard.” A small man in black handed him the rake and said: “My name is Walter, Dr. @kins.” “And that’s your whole trouble,” @kins grunted[.]"For fans of science fiction looking for a quick read that grabs and maintains interest, "The Demolished Man" should fit the bill. Now, jet and get started.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Read this! You will never be the same!By Desert RatAlfred Bester wrote only two science fiction novels but both are in the all time top ten (top five in my opinion). SF stories 60 years old often annoy due to tech and social anachronisms, wrong guesses and change in taste/styles. While much of the plot premise hands on Freudian concepts which are currently discredited or out of fashion the writing and story telling is so good you don't mind. Although, I have just re-read the book for 4 decades, entire sentences and even paragraphs are recalled so well I can almost recite them.It is a classic detective story, a classic psychological drama and a classic SF world/social structure depiction all in one.This isn't just a great SF novel.
