Hmm... verging on irritating for the most part but strangely compelling near the end. 2.5 stars.

First read in 2001 (Paris!) and re-read 90927. It's weird and odd with some things it tries to say about self and gender (among many other things). I'm not sure how well it succeeds.

I have a deep and abiding love for the pet.

Very difficult to get through the first half. Even once I started getting interested I still struggled to keep reading. Final quarter put it all together and it ended up lovely and all came together.

tourneuse's review

3.0

An interesting semi-satire, and the hero-ine's journey from conceited hedonist to a sort of hotch-potch version of Beauty from 'Beauty and the Beast' is very touching, but the alien setting was a little too heavily emphasised and distracted from the message.
