Babel-17 by Samuel R. Delany
3.0
Interesting book, although I didn't love it the same way so many others seem to have. For the length it starts off slow - so much time in spent introducing characters and world building elements we'll never see again. And then the second half, which is far more entertaining than the first half, rushes through the main plot way too fast. The entire main plot is wrapped up in only a couple of pages. However, there was enough good between the slow start and rushed finish to spike my interest, and I'll definitely be looking for more of this author's work.
