The Lathe of Heaven
Author: Ursula K. Le Guin
To dream a different world can be poetic. To dream a different world into being can be terrifying. George Orr, frightened because he has discovered he has the powers of affective dreaming, consults a psychiatrist. What follows is a clash of wills and the desperate effort of Orr to restrain his new-found destructive capacity.

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.
