Negative Positive
Title: Boring. Period. Forget this, read "Dune".
Review: Ask youself why people keep on bringing up the fact that her father was an anthropologist? What does that have to do with HER storytelling? Is Shakespeare's daughter a good storyteller just because her father was the greatest writer ever? No. "The Left Hand of Darkness" is just a description of a planet. As for the "love story" I find it as cold as the planet. Read "Dune" and have much more fun, with a story that actually has a PLOT! Imagine that? And I don't even know what Herbert's father did. Nor do I care.
Is the review positive or negative?
