More Than Human by Theodore Sturgeon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mutant Powers of the 1950’s.

When my friend Joe and I read this in 7th Grade we were thoroughly impressed, and still mention scenes we recall.

Theodore Sturgeon’s characters and story development are excellent. His plots are slightly weaker, but still very good.

Rereading the book, I was struck by the nostalgia it stirred for 1930-40 mid western United States society. Seems a bit corny now that we have become so sophisticated.

This book is good reading for any boy or girl in the middle grades.
