Davy (1964)

3.5 - A post-apocalyptic pastoral with episodes of sublimity and a pervading air of gentle humanism that make the picaresque tale of Davy's growth from childhood to manhood a compelling one. Some of the moments are a bit too cute, but ultimately they don't take away from the power of the story overall. ( )

Better than almost any post-apocalyptic book you will have ever read. ( )

Dense and almost unreadable. How Peter S. Beagle can be associated with a writer like Edgar Pangborn is beyond me. ( )

Not a very enjoyable book for me; can see that it is somewhat like LeGuin's books, but not nearly as good; although apparently Pangborn was an influence for LeGuin
