I'm probably forfeiting any claims to being a good judge of literary merit
but I *liked* _Number of the Beast_.  The idea of being able to enter your
favorite books fascinated me as a kid reading Edgar Eager's _Seven Day
Magic_ and seeing Heinlein's take on Oz was fascinating.

I never understood why the book was so hated.  Now _I Shall Fear No Evil_
is a different story altogether.
