Editorial reviews
This novel is a nostalgic classic from the 1960s. The extra-terrestrial environment in which it occurs is, like the Earth itself, a place that is colonized and exploited. Jack Holloway enters planet Zarathustra with his wards the Fuzzies, trying to secure them a home. The Fuzzies are a good metaphor for all the displaced people and animals on Earth. This vintage novel has depth; it raises questions of how sentience can be measured, and what it means to have a place in the world. Narrator Peter Ganim faithfully recites the groovy sci-fic verbiage of the book, but his sincere delivery make the listener bypass the quaint wonkiness and focus on the still-relevant questions found here. A good listen for those interested in early works of sci-fi.

Written in 1963, this story is a product of it's time, when space colonization was imagined like colonization of the West. I personally find the idea of treating burgeoning hunter-gather civilization like children or pets because they are cute by human standards uncomfortable. The science, especially the psychology, is noticeably dated as well.
While the story is a little too naive and black-and-white for my liking, in the light of the recent events - Enron, Monsanto, big banks bail-outs and so on - it is definitely a guilty pleasure to see big players being held accountable by just and impartial judge, even if it's only Sci-Fi.

What I didn't like: the narrator. He has some great voices but his narrator's voice sounds like an AI auto reading. It was very off-putting and I almost quit listening. However, the story redeemed itself and I couldn't stop till I finished. I did almost look for the print version though!
Not to diss the narrator completely, he is very talented and he had a different voice for each character, so I always knew who was speaking even before the story told me. I wasn't thrilled with his Jack Holloway voice but I knew who it was anyway while listening. It was only there narration that bothered me.
Read this, then read John Scalzi's Fuzzy Nation. You won't be disappointed.
Weird narration

Some stuff is bizzar - like the Cigar smoking every where, or the Guns - i mean, the humanity has reached other solar systems and set their foot on earth like planets - and yet, using rifles with bullets... but this is nonsense compared to the Fabulous story.
Fabulous old fashion SciFi
