This holds up pretty well from my teenage reading years. Story of a world-weary hedonist biting off more than he realized with exploring extra-dimensional pleasures. Barker has vivid descriptive powers here and really paints a picture of this world.

Funny enough, I think the first movie did a really good job translating this into a film. Beat for beat I think it was there.
