The Word for World is Forest

I really enjoyed reading The Word for World is Forest by Ursula Le Guin. At first, the book was a bit slow, but as I kept reading I began to enjoy it. I really like the way she writes, but at times it was confusing because there were so many different names for the same thing. I think it’s fascinating how the world she creates in her book is very intricate. I especially liked how she used the concept of dreams in the novel. I have read some science fiction before, but after reading this book I’ve become more interested in science fiction.

What we talked about in class today, regarding science fiction novels, was very interesting. I like how science fiction novels have a moral or a possible consequence of our actions. They allow the reader to think about the way they are living and to think about the consequences their actions can have.
