I liked it, it's well written. I don't want to be immortal, never did. It would be so awkward, not knowing what to do with yourself, no well delineated stages of life to go through. I should read more of her books. Larry really liked The Dispossessed but I still have not read it.
The diamond things in this story are very cool.

It mostly worked for me, I guessed it pretty early on.

I liked The Left Hand of Darkness a little better than The Dispossessed but both are definitely worth a read.
