" For some reason this book didn't appeal to me, despite being very fond of Le Guin. The beginning felt slow, and I didn't make it past it my first time reading. The middle-to-end, however, was very well done, particularly the imagery and emotional depth of Orr's assertiveness and interaction with the aliens. The very end, however, felt vague and was something of a let-down. However, the book explores some very interesting ideas about dreams and changing reality, and does so quite well. "
