I liked it, but it didn’t blow my skirt up. I adored Dune and all the rest of the books in that series. There is a difference in…almost the mindset of the writer between that series and all the others. For me, any novels, almost especially science fiction novels, including Foundation, written by men forty or more years ago are a little problematic. I read Rendezvous with Rama around the same time and the blatant sexism kicked me out of my reading flow badly. And Friday. I read that as a young girl and loved it, but when I reread it the main character is such a manic pixie dream girl.

Anyway there’s my two cents. Please, no one attack me for being a woman who reads scifi.
