Aww, it's scifi from the 60s! It's witty, and funny, and sarcastic (but never quite mean). Love it a lot.
The first half of the book explains the general situation, and allows us to get to know the ship's crew as they come into contact with three planets (but only one meaningful one, grown from a colony of nudists).
The second half centers on an anarchist world and … it's pure joy. Go read it.
Aw man, just diving back into Peter Grant stories is nice.
Not as great as the first one, but a bit longer, and fleshes out the concept nicely.
A multiverse scifi story! A convention of variations of the protagonist meet up – they discover divergence points, similarities, identities, and a body (of course, you did catch the Agatha Christie reference?).
Thoroughly enjoyable, and rightfully among the Locust Recommended Reading 2017.

This was a really rewarding (and terribly long) series. I liked the constant self-improvement and evolution the characters had. Even if the plot was predictable at times, and people didn't change much beyond their morality, I liked it, since they evolved in their understanding and behaviour. I even think I learned some things about myself, and have come to think of other things about myself differently – and what more can you ask of any book?
Sehr trocken geschrieben. Der Band zur 1918er-Revolution aus derselben Reihe ist da ungleich besser.
Liest sich gut und informativ, einem wird nur halt immer wieder zwischendurch dabei schlecht. Liegt aber am Inhalt, nicht am Stil.
Delightful role inversion.
Post apocalyptic. Not my thing.
Anarchist SciFi by Ursula K. Le Guin. It's a bit slow, but the content made me forget all about that.
There are always some small hints about Mr Snicket, which is kind of the worst thing about the whole thing.
