4.0 out of 5 stars
Original SF, written with a sure hand.,
By
This review is from: The Revolving Boy (Mass Market Paperback)
The protagonist of this book, Derv Nagy, has an apparent physical disability that causes him to be--well--different, but in the end becomes an element in a highly original science fiction novel. Gertrude Friedberg's writing style is simple and unadorned in the extreme, which appeals to me, as I am generally not fond of writing that is so stylish that it distracts one's attention from the narrative. That is no problem here. Should be interesting and understandable to readers from around age 10 on up. I've read a great deal of science fiction, and this one stands out as one of the most unique.

This review is from: The Revolving Boy (Mass Market Paperback)
Satisfying old-fashioned science fiction with an unusual premise; competent writing that does not call attention to itself.

This is the best book of all time!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Revolving Boy (Mass Market Paperback)
In this book you see the uniquely talented/disabled character of Derv Nagy grow from a very young leaning todler to a towering old man. You watch as his unusual way of birth throws him into what could be the most important discovery of his time. The society that he develops in is well described and very believeable. The love of his wife, who has absolute pitch, and the fear and frustration of keeping a secret are constatly tugging him in different directions. An old run down sky tracking site and the leaning of an old man just might hold the key to unraveling the universe.
