Review of 'Among Others' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Much of this story is inferred, which was irritating at times - I kept coming back to this one. Enjoyed the discussion of older SF. Not sure why it was set in the late seventies - to limit the books available? Recommended by the Book-a-Day calendar.
