I will have to sit with this one a bit longer than I expected. It has influenced me strangely and affected my mood over the past couple of days. Le Guin didn’t hide the fact that the book was propagandist in nature and it takes over you quite strongly. It’s riveting and the most fun I’ve had reading a sci-fi novel in a long time. Not to mention that this was my first Le Guin, ever.
