Book Review of The Color of Distance

The Color of Distance
purplediane avatar reviewed Great story about VERY unusual aliens! on + 4 more book reviews


From my Amazon review April, 2000: This is one of the best SF books I have read in many years. Having the story told from the viewpoints of both Juna and the aliens was very different. It was fascinating to see the same things from totally different points of view, especially at the beginning before Juna realizes how intelligent the Tendu really are. I thought that the communication by colors and symbols was also very unique and well thought out. The amazing variety of the planet and the forest were very believable and the descriptions evocative - I want to go there! I highly recommend this book!
