As a young man, Clifford Simak was one of my favorite authors. While I found his writing style to be excellent, the story itself did not hold my attention. Perhaps it is that the world has changed radically over the past 50 years, and things that once roused the imagination no longer do so. This is an OK story, but not the special one I hoped for. Perhaps a younger reader might appreciate it more.
An excellent book. Amazingly so, when written by a woman almost a century ago in a man-dominated culture. Well written, good plot, and with a thoughtful conclusion.
An absolutely wonderful science fiction book. I thought the genre was dead, having turned into horror, fantasy, and such. Thank you, Mr. Scalzi, for this captivating story!
This is a really enchanting book I remember from childhood. It takes a while to get the hang of the dialect, but it is worth the effort and provides some charming stories.
