Comments and Reviews


ppint. 9th Apr 2019		Review "the odour of thought" aka "the odor of thought" robert sheckley (1953) sees an interstellar postman crash-landing his mailship on an unexplored, adequately oxygen-atmosphered planet on which the animal life is green° - and lacks eyes. it does not, however, lack teeth. . . ° - or mostly green "exploration team" murray leinster (1956) is another classic, an sf story of a subgenre rarely seen now, since the mid-late sixties, but entertaining and maybe food for thought, besides... - all-in-all, a good, readable collection, not too thick to frighten off young & sub-teens, which was the piccolo target market aimed at by pan books, but with stories fun for adults, too, to read. reference copy supplied by courtesy of tony at the old pier bookshop, morecambe seafront. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
