" This social experiment of a book is a bit like a combo of Geek Love and Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Extremely edgy. "

" So good. One of those plots I wish I had come up with. "

" I really enjoyed reading this book. The author has the whole show don't tell thing completely mastered. I enjoyed his writing style/voice more than any book I have read in a long time. The concept of the human race evolving into what he described was interesting--I don't want to give it away. "

" More Than Human is, undoubtedly, one of the most influential works of 1950s science fiction, a narrative of incredible invention and clarity. Yet another fundamental work in the canon. "

" Like the ill-named "Venus Plus X" and "To Marry Medusa" this Theodore Sturgeon novel is extremely well written and enjoyable. Until the end. His shiny bright 50s optimism and moralizing makes me gag. It's a serious love/hate thing for me. I love his books and hate all of their endings. "

" I liked it. Had trouble putting it down. I felt like the ending collapsed, wait, isn't there more to say... Really liked the characters but would someone who had been hurt really become so malicious, full of his power. I am waiting for antigravity to arrive any minute. "

" another that I read decades ago. reading the blurb about it brought back strong feelings of sympatico with outsiders. I definitely should reread and soon. Maybe time to reserve at the library... "

" One of the first books by Sturgeon I read and still one of my favorites. Creepy gender subtext and creepy rape text, though. Probably creepy racial subtext too, now that I think about it. (I first read it when I was ten, okay? It blew my mind. It still gets past many of my later filters.) "

" I found this to be really confusing to read. I understand the point of telling the story from multiple perspectives, but it didn't help with clarity. "

" Interesting book. Difficult to follow at times. The book theorizes about the next evolution in human development. For me to say anything more, would require adding spoilers. "

" Interesting discussion of a symbiotic relationship between people. Apparently his became a subsection of science fiction. Always cool to see how people a century ago tall about the future. "

" This is one of my favorite books ever. I just finished re-reading it a month ago. It is everything a science fiction book should be. Even though this was my second time reading it, I still could not put it down. This book made me go on to read every Sturgeon that I could find. "

" A vision of evolution where 5 mutant children join together as a family and behave as a single organism. "

" This story is told in three parts, reflecting the additions to the original novella Baby is Three. Of the three tales, I enjoyed the third, "Morality", the most. It is easy to see why this book is on several "best science fiction" lists. "

" Fully deserving of its status as a classic of SF. "

" Loved this one! It's been more than 20 years since I read it and I think it's about time to revisit.

" this is a very weird book, I dont know what to say the story was not what i was expecting. I was able to understand what was happening but it was just not so good. i dont consider this a science fiction book so much

" This book is amazing, especially considering it was written in 1953!
