Review title: A neat idea - botanical 'aliens'
Product review: I found this paperback where I get most of the classic sci-fi of the 1950s, 60s and 70s: in a used bookstore (in this case for $1). Knowing Simak's reputation, I took a chance (with my dollar) and wasn't disappointed. The idea of aliens coming in the guise of innocent-looking plant life was a cool concept and the story line was a lot of fun. Not any high-tech stuff here, but perhaps that is why this book endures and does not seem outdated. Simak writes in simple, declarative sentences and the structure of his work is logical and easy to read (Asimov says in a chapter in his own autobiography,'I Asimov', that he tried to emulate Simak). Definitely worth a read if you can find it.
