"Don't let the age of the book fool you. While some of the references are definitely dated, the core of the story is as vital and contemporary as anything you'll read. The ultimate book for anyone who has felt "different" or "alone" (i.e., everyone)."
"What a fablulous story - I think I have read this 4 times now. I read every word to get even more meaning from it than before. I like Sturgeon's no-nonsence American classic style, and the way that changes with the characters and the timeline in the story.
This 19xx novel completes my Challenge set of 18xx, 19xx, 20xx"
"The way the book is organized seems strange at first, and the shifts between the three sections terribly abrupt, but by the end, you can see why Sturgeon chose to do things this way, and the structure is revealed to be entirely appropriate. I don't know if I bought into the whole psychic-evolution theory for the characters, but I really like what he did with this story."
"How this book was even considered Science Fiction, I will never know. It had no point to the story, in my opinion. But I started it... I finished it, that's it."
