A review by laurelbard
He, She and It by Marge Piercy

3.0

The last chapters of this book make me want to give it more than a 3, but the first long haul, and the fact that I often found myself, in the middle, wishing that I could read about other characters living in the same world, means I can't in good faith give it any more. Maybe a 3.5.

I really enjoyed how the book ended, although it did feel just a little bit underwhelming. This was really a glorified romance novel, but it was a well-handled one, with queer representation and interesting characters, as well as good moral dilemmas. I guess I just couldn't get in to Shira's head; some of her was startlingly familiar and simultaneously completely alien.

I would not read this again, but I would recommend it to others, just to see what they think. Definitely worth a read, but not a favorite.
