mimyo 's review for:
The Lathe of Heaven
by Ursula K. Le Guin
There is so much to love about this book. The idea of the reality-changing dreams is executed in an almost understated way and then appears to escalate so quickly that is extremely exciting to follow. Unfortunately, after the escalation it seemed almost painfully clear to me where it was going and the journey there was not without merit, but even trying to keep engaged my enthusiasm waned slowly. I have felt this way about many fantasy or sci-fi novels such as this one, that tread on a soft line between the realistic and the fantastical. It is extremely difficult to pull off and the author did well, but with such a history of high quality output as Le Guin has, I can't help but think it could have been just a tad bit better.
