Wow, can't believe I had not read this yet. As a Sci-Fi junkie, you'd think I would have read it by now, but somehow it slipped out.
Really though, what can I say? I liked it, but I think it's beyond my liking or not liking. This book did for Sci-Fi what Lord of the Rings did for fantasy. A whole set of motifs, genre trends, universe conceptions go back to this book. I actually recognized trends from the fantasy setting that come from this book as well. Any and all Sci-Fi readers must read this.
The plot flowed well, a world and universe was created. A character came, grew up, and you came to to see the world through his eyes. A message was made, a world was changed. It was good literature and a good story. I am ashamed not to have read it until now.
