Explores a new, interesting "way of life"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
The protagonist of "On" lives on a world with an interesting twist that changes everything about it (except human nature, of course). The book is believable, exciting, a little gory here and there, driven by both plot and character. It doesn't have a typical ending, but the ending makes sense when you think about it, and the author's dedication at the end mentions the theme that the ending fits into. A short appendix lays out the science behind this world if you missed the clear info dumps from one of the characters. I liked this book a lot.
