Title: a book to be savored
Review: The first time I read this book, I was a newcomer to the science fiction genre. In college, I took a course on science fiction, and for the most part, I was rather disappointed by the selections we were reading. Some of the books were great fun to read, and innovative, but they lacked the depth and thought to make them great stories. But my reading of Le Guin's novel persuaded me to read more science fiction. This book is a beautifully crafted story about two people whose meeting raises questions about their cultures, and their perception of the other's world. Their journey across the cold lands evoked the kind of yearning that continued to ache many days after finishing the novel. I highly recommend this book for people who have the time and the faitful energy to savor the story.
