Good fun from Ms. Norton. I really enjoy the cultures and aliens she creates. ( )

This was the first book I ever read. It gave me chills and thrills of something new with every chapter. Adventure into deep space into that held me as a kid, and yet survived to be readable in the digital age as a pure lite adventure for an adult. This story's writing holds firm and crisp enough to withstand time and technological advance. ( )

Amazingly good for what it is. ( )
