I was disapointed with this book. I found the writing dry and boring in bits. I had seen the remake movie of Lathe of Heaven and enjoyed it very much but was bored when I read the book. I believe that it's just the particular writing style of the author that doesn't attract me. I read another book by her that I barely made it through.
It is a good story but the writing just drags it down.
