Title: Wonderful ideas dragged through a slow and boring story
Review: I was so excited to read a book dedicated to the principles of anarchism! Where better than sci-fi to explore an anarchist society with a long history and highly articulated ideas. Who better than a highly accomplished writer such as Le Guin to tackle the endeavor? By Odo, was I disappointed.Le Guin's "Dispossessed," while generous in its drawing out of anarchist ideas and events, left me bored out of my wits. The plot is thinner than cardboard, the characters are unmoving, and I could find little reason to turn the pages. But turn them I did. I was carried through to the end on the vapors of anarchist imaginings. But I ran out of gas far before I reached the end of the book.
