The "Bester" of the two books is obviously The Stars My Destination. I read The Stars a few months ago, and after finishing was like "Wow this book is stellar." It had a great plot, set of characters, and the ending left you dazzled. Shortly after i picked up the demolished man. This book is not as well written and often i found myself confused in his hazzy descriptions. I thought the book treaded too slow and had obvious plot holes, which made it seem stupid at times. Also, the ending left me hungry, because the demolishing part was kind of elementary. I'll never read the demolished man again and will probably never recomend it, but for sure i will read the stars every few years.
