The Dispossessed

I'm afraid I can't give this book a proper review, because I haven't read it since 1993. It lingers in my memory as a book I didn't like, so I've never read it again.

However, when I look back at my 1993 diary, I find to my surprise that I described it as “impressive” and “interesting” at the time. Well, I already knew that Le Guin was capable of good writing. I think the problem is that I read fiction for entertainment, and I didn't find it sufficiently entertaining. Also, it seems to be a book about contrasting political systems, but it wasn't clear to me what political points it was trying to make.

Thus, I ended up neither entertained nor educated. Maybe you'll profit more from the book than I did; good luck.
