jenne 's review for:

Planet of Exile by Ursula K. Le Guin
2.0

This is a pretty forgettable little book, but it's also kind of amazing when you look at it compared to the other science fiction that was being published in 1966.
You can definitely tell that Le Guin was the child of anthropologists--all the things she pays attention to are so different than the laser gun/alien monster books that were a large part of the genre. Not to mention how the perspectives and actions of old people/women/other races are important and real.
