5.0 out of 5 stars A science fiction touchstone, 27 April 2008
By Angus Dunn (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is probably the best of leGuin's books but certainly the grandest in conception. Thirty years since I first read it, fifteen years since I last read it, the scenes and characters and ideas still float up into consciousness from time to time. It became a part of me, in the way that good books do.
This is the clearest of her books on her version of anarchism as a political system and it has the grandest ideas.
But don't let me give the impression that it is a 'worthy' book and you OUGHT to read it. I read the book for its story, and was not diappointed. All the rest is a bonus.
One of those books that gives the rest of the field something to measure up to.
