Larque on the Wing

Rating:
Summary: Too much angst
Review: I bought this after the recommendation of the Triptree committee, and I have to say I was disappointed. I've failed to finish perhaps half a dozen books in my life, but this was one of them. The LeGuin story was much better

Summary: Suprisingly fantastic!
Review: I bought this on a whim, not sure if I wanted it or not. I couldn't put it down.. despite the fact that I went to work on 3 hours sleep! This is an wonderful tale. The reviews above explain the plot, but don't be sidetracked by it. I thought this would be over my head (I'm 23, not 40 some), but I not only *got* every bit of the story (there's a great bit about Hamburger Helper) but the story was so engrossing and fascinating, with unexpected plot devices everywhere, and characters that just make sense, I never wanted it to end.

Summary: One of my all time favorites!
Review: This is a hysterical and touching story for "the rest of us." A must-read for anyone who has ever felt a touch of strange magic in their lives, who has ever had doubts that their gender was one or the other, or who just sees things from a slightly tilted view point. The Author manages to meld aspects of all the "freaks" in the world into an adventure through conventional expectations. On the other hand, if you are not comfortable with gay and transgender situations, avoid this one like the plague.
