Excellent read. A planet that could be a paradise is ruled by a totally corrupt president who cheats, steals from and murders any citizen that dares to question his rule. Enter the Stainless Steel Rat who is determined to oust the evil president, even if it means he must become a politician himself - that is how serious he is about it. As usual with the adventures with Slippery Jim Di Griz, the action is nonstop and highly enjoyable.

recenzis The stainless steel rat for president de Harry Harrison

Didn't age well and probably was written way too soon.

4 steloj

Topics of autocracy are simplified almost to a joke. Re-reading the book in 2022, it doesn't feel like it age well. But then again, it was written just 40 odd years after the end of World War II, so I'm not sure why did Harrison even bother writing a comedy about autocracies. It's still 4 stars because he explains how they work well enough, also good for children.
