Negative Positive
Title: A compelling story -- Read it.
Review: I read Slan when I was a teenager back in the 80's. Back when I read about three SciFi books every week. Slan is one of the few that really left a lasting impression. The theme of "mutant" and "outcast" is definitely one of my favorites, but there are precious few books that do it any kind of justice. (In most treatments, the theme just becomes a pretense for comic book heroism or kinky sex.) Slan is one of the few that succeeds in really exploring the issue, including the imperative to find others of one's own kind, a concern that we can surely all sympathize with. It's definitely worth reading.In the same genre, I would also recommend "Psion," and my personal favorite from the juvenile section, "The Girl with Silver Eyes," a real masterpiece.
