Grass by Sheri S. Tepper

5.0

A wonderful book, with beautifully realised characters and a totally involving setting. It put me in mind of the SF classic 'Dune', but reduced to a more personal, less epic scale with a cogent human future and accessible characters. The planet of Grass and its societies are finely crafted and its alien inhabitants are some of the most intriguing I've come across. The storyline is interesting from the very beginning and continually develops and accelerates. I very rarely give a book a 5 stars (it was amazing) rating, but this was the best book I have read for a good many years. I would heartily recommend it to anyone, especially those who enjoyed the essence of 'Dune'.
