5.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting twist on the "whole man" theory,
By anthony wallace (Philadalphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The whole man (Collier nucleus fantasy & science fiction) (Mass Market Paperback)
The main character is remarkably even spirited even though he was born into abject poverty with severe physical handicaps - including a twisted, ugly, stunted body. His one gift is a remarkable psychic mental gift - the ability to project and read thoughts from great distances. When he is finally discovered, captured and brought to the institute where his talents can be developed, he becomes one of the most gifted "psychics" in the world. He never even attempts to use his power selfishly. A very uplifting story with numerous philosophical themes or "sub-issues" of universal importance which are woven, unobtrusively, throughout this rather short novel. I wish the author had done a "series" on the life of the main character!
