A review by grid
Up the Walls of the World by James Tiptree Jr.

3.0

I set this down in the middle, and put it back on my to-read shelf, not quite having the heart to abandon it completely. Picked it up a few times in the ensuing FOUR years, and when I finally decided to just plow through, it turned out I only had a couple of dozen pages remaining.

There were some good ideas here, and toward the end it turns into a fascinating depiction of consciousness without physicality. I feel I've read that sort of thing before, at least a few times, but in recent memory, this is the one I enjoyed the most.

I did really enjoy some of it, but can't really give it full marks, as neither the characters nor plot spoke to me in any real way.
