I am very glad that I read it when it came in even though it wasn't selected, it was quite remarkable and a deserving winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards (not that I have read many of the winners to compare).

I wanted to read something by Jo Walton. I was able to get
Among Others as the library. So I did and it was a very enjoyable book. Quite different from what I've been reading. Highly recommended.
