S...ediFanoB - I haven't seen Bicentennial Man. Sounds like a movie I should check out, though. I seem to like human-like AI/robot stories for some reason.<br /><br />Cinema Cafe Podcast - Like you, I've wanted to read something by Lee for a while, but this is the first of her books I have read. <i>Biting the Sun</i> and <i>The Secret Books of Paradys</i> are both on my bookshelf, though, so I'm sure I'll read those at some point. <i>White as Snow</i> always intrigued me just because I really love retold fairy tales. A lot of Lee's books that I keep hearing very good things about are out of print, unfortunately.<br /><br />Orannia - No, I don't think I'll be reading the sequel. It's supposed to be pretty disappointing in comparison, and while I liked this one, I wasn't head over heels in love with it. I'll try something else by Lee first.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700004253248186101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146259764837045872.post-65075321548129044542009-06-29T22:38:45.956-04:002009-06-29T22:38:45.956-04:00Hmmmmm.

Two of her books sit on my bookshelf, <i> White as Snow </i> and the book you just reviewed, and I have a feeling <i> The Silver Metal Lover </i> will continue to sit on my shelf thanks to your wonderful review. I've never been able to quite relate and enjoy books concerning themselves with female adolescent youth, perhaps because I am in fact male, so while the story of a lyrical robot intrigues me, my first Lee book will have to wait. <br /><br />I'm curious, have you read many of Lee's work and if so, which one would you recommend to start with for a person who's never read any of her work?

But that's just a matter of taste.<br />Anyway when I started to read your review immediately a movie popped up in my mind:<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bicentennial-Man-Robin-Williams/dp/630587493X" rel="nofollow">Bicentennial Man</a>. Robin Williams performs a robot who tries to become more human. Heartwarming....ediFanoBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129248787624088717noreply@blogger.com
