aether 's review for:
The Lathe of Heaven
by Ursula K. Le Guin
An incredibly unique and creative premise, I quite enjoyed this book. I love that the story was unpredictable - the end is certainly not discernible from the middle of the book. I feel like this book is a ties in with Shakespeare as well; Le Guin paints a picture of the folly of human hubris similar to that in MacBeth, and she even quotes Hamlet near the end. The addition of a romantic subplot supplements the tone of the book, rather than detracting from it. I wasn't expecting a happy ending, but Le Guin does a great job of wrapping things up hopefully. I would recommend this to those that enjoy sci-fi/fantasy (although it isn't really either!).
