3.0 out of 5 stars
Another frightening utopia,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hyacinths (Doubleday science fiction) (Hardcover)
In this book Yarbro shows us a society where the people's dreams are watched by the mass in sophisticated media, with ads in between. She describes us a few characters and writes chapters in which they are always arguing in couples. She repeats the same themes. She seemes possesed by Frank Herbert, as read the obsession with body language. And at the end the book tells you very few things for not so many pages. The topic is interesting (reminds me the best Pohl/Kornbluth stories), but the book is not so. It's like a theater piece repeated over and over again. I suppose that later Yarbro books are better (in Spain only this and Nomads were edited, apart from some excelent short stories), but I recommend you not to buy it unless you are a fan of her.
