A review by darthval
The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin

4.0

I had almost given up trying to read classic SciFi, having thus far found it to be dry and tedious. I am so glad that I stuck in there to read The Lathe of Heaven.

This book is interesting, being short and light and tone. However, it tackles some rather deep topics that incite further reflection: poverty, over-population, race, power, manipulation, and more. The story almost has surreal dream-like quality, which is a perfect fit given the subject matter.

This book is quite enjoyable.
