Title: Don't Bother
Product review: As a long-time fan of Le Guin who counts "The Dispossessed" and "The Left Hand of Darkness" among my favorite novels, I was delighted to discover recently that there was a "Hainish Cycle" novel I hadn't read. Unfortunately I found this book simply not worth reading. I'd be very surprised if I was the first reviewer to point out that it's an obvious amalgam of "Lost Horizon" and "Fahrenheit 451." Unsubtle, contrived, cliched, derivative, and above all: disappointing.
