I agree its an excellent book. One of the best, of any genre, that I've read.
BTW, it won the 1961 Hugo for a novel. It began life as 3 separate novellas. Two were published and while Miller was writing the 3rd he realized that it was really one novel instead of 3 separate novellas. He made major changes to the first two novellas when he restructured it as a novel. The final novel is separated into three sections, each set in different time periods some 600 years apart.
