oofym 's review for:
The Lathe of Heaven
by Ursula K. Le Guin
I found it pretty thoroughly interesting, but for some reason didn't enjoy it as much as I'd expected to.
There's definitely some daoist influence in the story, a heavy theme is the benevolence of non-action verses the sometimes catastrophic effects of action itself.
George Orr, being a guy who practices a hefty amount of non-action, ends up being a fairly uninteresting character. He's a guy that tends to just go with flow.
Overall I liked the idea and writing style, so I'll of course be picking up something else by Le Guin and see If it's more my fancy.
