OK- what to even say about this masterpiece- which it undoubtably is! For all u fools out there who do not think science fiction can be literature of the highest degree, u obviously haven't read a book like More Than Human- because if this book doesn't blow that dense, dull-witted notion out of your mind, nothing will and u should be publicly shunned forevermore.
Written in the 50's and it still didn't seem dated at all! That alone is an astounding feat. Anyway, i don't even think i can begin to praise it like it deserves, so i won't. I'm gonna go find another Sturgeon book to read

Whenever I see this book in a used book store, I buy it for someone. I recently bought it for the guitarist in my band - he doesn't normally read SF, but he's liked quite a few of my recs in the past (Ballard, Cisco, Ligotti...). I gave it to him last week, and I can't wait to hear what he thinks.

It rocks so very hard.

Sounds like a great one! I'll be adding this to my "to read" list.
I dont think I totally understood this book (maybe my english is lacking a bit :) ), or maybe I was just too young when I read it... I may go back to it sometime, especially since Theodore Sturgeon is one of my absolute favorites. If you have the chance, try some of his short fiction!
