Maybe I’m just a hater, but reading the reviews from so many others makes me feel like I read a completely different book. Such a good opportunity to explore the intricacies of Kemmer and human sexuality but Le Guin just does not go there. I want more out of this book than it cares to give. Feels like the topic it tackles with the impact it had could have as easily been achieved in a short story.

Hmmm. I feel like I’m not experiencing these characters discoveries with them. Instead, it feels like I’m reading their recounting of these events much like they’d minimize it in a journal entry.

I have wanted to sink my teeth into an Ursula K. Le Guin book for a long time, but it just might not be the book for me.

Lil hike reread don’t hurt nobody
