Loading... A Door Into Ocean (1986)by Joan Slonczewski (Author)
I loved the world-building in this one. I can be impatient, especially with audio book readers when things build slowly, but the nature of the humans of Shora helped me take time with the plot, even when the action was so decentralized. It took me a long time to listen to this, but I enjoyed the science in the science fiction, and many of the characters quite a lot. (  ) alwright1 | May 27, 2013 |  Good old The Women's Press sf list. Nary a title on its small but perfectly formed list is a misfire. Re-read this book for the first time in quite a while: could hardly put it down. Love the world-building and the social construction, as good as classic le Guin. (  ) comixminx | Apr 5, 2013 | In a word: amazing. Landor’s narration is beautiful and lyrical, with well-detailed characterizations across the cultures and classes presented in Slonczewski’s award-winning novel of feminism, pacifism, and anarchism in a far-future of multiple visions of post-humanity. It immediately vaults into my all-time favorites list, though perhaps a half-step behind The Dispossessed and Parable of the Sower. ( ) montsamu | Apr 3, 2013 | While slow to start, I was really impressed with how much I cared about what was happening by the second "part" of the book and I cared right up until the very last paragraph. ( ) PizzaKarin | Apr 2, 2013 | Another one I should revisit one of these days. I can't remember much about this book except being very bored and wondering why I was reading it. I suspect I was the wrong age and mindset to understand what was going on. (  ) Murphy-Jacobs | Mar 30, 2013 |
 A Door Into Ocean... starts so slowly that many readers may not get past the 40 leisurely pages of Part One. This would be a mistake. By the time the conflict she introduces so obliquely in Part One has moved to center stage, you not only know the antagonists intimately, you care passionately about the outcome.
