Creative premise that has some rather memorable word pictures that will stay in your mind for a while. Starts out not too optomistic if not downright dreadful in it's story line but ends with an somewhat abrupt positve tone. Not a bad read and will keep your interest.

A pretty good read. Not as detailed or expansive as I would have liked, especially regarding the inhabitants of the planet where the story takes place. So much is inferred but not gone into with any depth. Another 100 pages filling in all parts of the story and leading on after the ending would have made for a more satisfying book.

I found the story sexist, offensive and full of unbelievable "facts. Stopped reading it so I could go find ANYTHING else. Too bad, I was looking forward to the first book in the series.

I have to say that I wasn't sure about this book when I first started. Reading the book summary, I knew that it deal with the abduction of someone from Earth and his adventures thereafter. I found it to be far more satisfying and convoluted than I'd expected and well worth the time to read it all. The four main characters are well thought out and complex in their personalities and motivations. So many kinds of aliens and cultures are created and the story progresses towards it's conclusion. No, I won't discuss any aspect of the actual events, that's best left to you to discover on your own. At over 600 pages, a long but good read I'm happy I gave the chance to play out. What is being 'Human', what is 'intelligence'? Read taken and draw your own conclusions.
