The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia by Ursula K. Le Guin

3.0

It took me a long time to get into this book, and I'm not sure that I would have finished it had I not been leading a book discussion on it. I think that the world the LeGuin has created is unique and interesting, but the story itself didn't hold my attention. There's not a lot of action and I expected more of that from this type of story. On the other hand, I am glad that I finished "The Dispossessed." I like that LeGuin shows both the benefits and major problems with both the anarchist society and the capitalist society. This book examines a lot of interesting ideas and will be making me think for a while.
