I picked this book up because I thought it was science fiction. While it does depict a utopian society, I would consider it more fantasy than sci fi, since its premise depends so much on supernatural elements that are never adequately explained. It is also fantasy in its expressed wish for a simpler, happier society doing its best to bring the rest of the human race back to that ideal. But it is an endearing fantasy nonetheless.

A good book so far, but I was told that this was science fiction, and I don’t really think it is. Too me it seems more like fantasy. In other words, I haven’t found any science in it.

read the back of the book and didn’t feel in the slightest interested. started it and wasn’t immediately drawn into the story. finished it and was left suspended inbetween worlds. excellent book.

an inexplicable gem.
