Bruce's Reviews > More Than Human

Great short novel. Very humanistic, very pro-physicality, pro sensual, very much in touch with the supressed emotional, very in love with the possibility of human transcendence. An award winner and reprinted a bazillion times and deservedly so.

However, I find flaw in that the dramatic action in two of the 4 parts is the same-- a character has suppressed a traumatic memory and must be led gently back in to it. The second time we get this structure, the gentle leading is very very long, which as you might imagine is really the opposite way it ought to be done, if one has to repeat something like that.

Good surprising ending.
