I must admit I groaned a bit when I started The Dispossessed, a book about aliens and their different social structures. I've read books like this and I wasn't really in the mood for another Sci-Fi book about anarchist societies. It is a bit dry and difficult to read but I did end up finding this book really interesting. I did end up finding the most interesting parts of this book was the different societies and how no could ever be perfect. The Dispossessed is just a giant metaphor about the world we live in. It's not an easy read but rather interesting anyway.
