This was just as good, with just as great a depth to the writing and turn of phrase as the writer's other works. Layer in an interesting premise, with a heaping amount of social commentary (from the 50's!) and you get a great blend of dystopia, speculative future, and much more sci fi or magical realism than expected. It is intriguing to see how dynamics are going to unravel and where the conflict is going to arise, but it also ends a bit abruptly - maybe at its peak - as if you are waiting for the next segment/stage of the book.
