A review by taylstark
Hothouse by Brian W. Aldiss

2.0

Adored the setting; a rich, lush, captivating world. Especially loved the imagery of earth and moon hung with web. However, I wish someone else, with a greater grasp on description, dialogue, and character, had written the story. There's a lot of potential here that Aldiss doesn't live up to. Lack of plot doesn't bother me - some of my favourite books involve utterly flat characters moving through gorgeously wrought set pieces - but this book, the use of language in particular, just utterly bored me.
