Sharon didn't claim that was the  plot  for  _Bill  the  Galactic
Zero_,  but  for  another  book  by  Harrison.  Frankly, the plot
sounded a  lot  like  Sheckley's  _Dimension  of  Miracles_.   My
opinion  of  _DoM_  is very similar to her opinion on the unnamed
book.  I think Sheckley's  short  stories  are  better  than  his
longer works.  I enjoyed _Bill_ in a tepid sort of way, but won't
reread it, which places it rather low on my list. I did enjoy the
Stainless  Steel  Rat stories, but can't offhand recall any other
works by Harrison that I really liked - certainly not Deathworld.

Open Question: does the Deathworld series improve, or am I better
off cutting my losses after the first book?
