Summary: One of the GREATEST science-fiction books written!
Review: This book should be on everyone's TO READ LIST. It most decidedly belongs on a top 20 science-fiction book list. I read this book as an adolescent and it forever enamored me of the science-fiction genre. A 'must read'!

Summary: Beware of homeless "idiots!"
Review: This book was written over 50 years ago (as evidenced by certain word choices) and is very original and entertaining. However, I found it to be somewhat disjointed and I was disappointed how the author concluded Lone's role in the story. At times I was a bit confused by Mr. Sturgeon's prose, but overall it was compelling and interesting. I have a strong suspicion this book highly influenced Dean Koontz's "The Bad Place."

Summary: Why so acclaimed and infamous yet so little read?
Review: This is a splendid novel. Anyone repulsed by the
current state of science fiction needs only to avert their attention toward More Than Human for
restored faith in genre fiction. Of course it is
about 45 years old, maybe there's still a case to
be settled. But anyhow, how come no one reads this
anymore? Has its popularity waned that much? Any
look at any list of the best science fiction
novels of all time is sure to encounter this one near the top. It deserves it, frankly. So why haven't these Star Wars teenagers read it by now?
Let's me and you give this one a renewed jolt (we'll act like it's brand new), put it back in people's faces, and let the Sturgeon family have
their much deserved royalty checks. Give everyone
an elbow in the ribs and ask 'em if they've
read More Than Human yet. Tell them then
(politely) to set aside their Anne McAffrey and
give Sturgeon a stern listening to.

Summary: A beautiful, beautiful book
Review: This is one of the greatest books I have ever read in my entire life. It is so intriguing and new, and it is very hard to compare it to other books. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Almost perfect -- spoiled in the last 5 pages.
Review: To all the other people gushing about this book, I add my small voice. If you think all of Sci Fi is just techno -- full of richly realized machines and ciphered characters, this novel will open your eyes.HOWEVER, one small piece of advice to potential readers. Read the book to almost the end, where the two main protagonists are about to have their face-to-face showdown, then STOP! The last 4-5 pages, with their tidy resolution, are a dreadful letdown.

Summary: Disappointing¿¿.
Review: What a wonderful concept for this book, written by one of the "old masters" of SF, and a beginning that sucks you in and compels you forward....then drops you flat on your face where you pick yourself up and ask "Why did this book interest me again?" Starting off with well rounded characterizations, and prose that takes us rapidly into some very bizarre lives; it ends with flat, paper thin characters, dialogue that is stilted and surrealistic when it shouldn't be, and the knowledge that what should have been accomplished was not. The multiple characters had a compulsion to meld in the beginning, and in the end it is not even the characters we expected and they do not meld at all in my opinion, only mish-mash into a single character with a weak explanation of "themselves" as humanity. Pah! A mere 188 pages, this none the less took me three days to slog through. Save yourself the trouble and pass on this one.

Summary: MORETHAN HUMAN LESS THAN SATISFACTORY
Review: While I found the premise very interesting and enjoyed reading how the gestalt functioned, I found the ending of the book to be something of an anti-climax. I am not, however, advocating that the book should have ended with a rather spectacular confrontation between the two protagonists, but I found the tearful entry into a benevolent world consciousness somewhat maudlin..
