I wasn't too interested in the reading and don't quite care for much of anything science fiction. But, as we were discussing it in class, I could see some positives. Such as- Ursula K. Le Guin is phenomenally creative for being able to construct such a novel. And some of her sentences were gorgeous, and I liked how some parts of the descriptions or dialogue were slightly crude. But, I just wouldn't ever choose to sit and read this story on my own free will, so it was rather difficult for me to focus in on it.
