A review by kiwi_fruit
Rite of Passage by Alexei Panshin

2.0

I enjoyed the first two parts of this book, especially the discussions on population and power ethics and the bartering of technology, however the third part - The trial – was a disappointment

Spoiler

: the adventure resembled a Western rather than Sci-fi and I didn’t like the fact that sex between kids just turned 14 was treated so casually

. 2 ½ stars
