Reviews

• This was my favorite book when I was in college, going through my own, delayed right of passage. I bought it again, with some fear that it would not hold up, but it certainly did. The writing is beautiful, the world creation fascinating and plausible, the characters vivid and real, with a lively plot. I believe this is positioned as a "young adult" book, but I would think seriously about giving it to a young team. Not for the violence and sexual content, which is mild, but the book builds to a deep ending that should at least be discussed. But it is a beautiful, entertaining, thoughtful book.

• Arrived fast, and the book was as described. It was carefully packed, in fact the best packing I get. Recommended.

• I first read this book when I was 16 in the year it was first published and thought it was one of the best ones I had read. At that time I was in the throes of reading every SF and Western book I could get. I think the quality of this book, for both the story and writing, stands up there with books by Heinlein, Van Vogt, Asimov, Clark and more recently, Chaney and Brazee… I thoroughly enjoyed reading it again.

• Ein sehr schönes Werk. Wo andere SF Romane mit Technik Kauderwelsch langweilen, präsentiert der Autor eine bizarre Welt so überzeugend, das der Leser mit dem handelnden Charakter, einem Mädchen mitfibert. Schlüssiges Konzept, hervorragende Sprache, stringente Handlungsführung, Spannungsbogen, wie aus dem Lehrbuch. Wenn sämtliche SR Romane diesen Standard erfüllten, läge diese Literaturgattung nicht am Boden. Gäbe es doch 6 Sterne !

• great read loved it from start to finish
