Dear The Left Hand of Darkness,
I have to say, I don't feel like your story started until 50% of the way into your book. I know you are a classic A sci-fi story, and I did eventually.find myself really pulling for Ai and Estrogen. I enjoyed their journey through the ice fields, and their ability to shed their social expectations to find each other. But I kept losing focus during the first half of your story, and I wanted more from your ending. While you are not a terrible book, I do not know if I will be reading any more Le Guin books.
