Title: An utter disappointment
Review: I began reading "The Left Hand of Darkness" in the hopes that it would live up to the stellar reviews left by other Amazon users. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. While Le Guin's conceptualization of gender on the planet Winter is innovative, I found the plot and character development to be mediocre, at best. I have no doubt that "Left Hand" was ground-breaking when it was published in the 1960's; however, a modern reader will likely be unimpressed. I suggest reading the Chronicles of Earthsea for Le Guin at her best.
