" 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. "

" 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.) "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" 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. "
