Like your review of “Stranger,” to sum it up in one word: “OK”

There’s some good food for thought in there (regarding systems of government, rights vs. responsibility, that sort of thing.) Actually, it wouldn’t be bad required reading for some sort of high-school civics class. Although there’s nothing groundbreaking in there, it does address much of what once taught as “Problems Of Democracy.” Getting ideas across in the candy-coating of sci-fi adventure could have its benefits.

So… ! If you choose to read it, you will not have wasted your time. But life is short, and the list of book worth reading is very, very long.
