Criticism Regarding Books Rite of Passage

3.5 stars. This is an really good novel (and, amazingly enough, this was Panshin's first novel). It is a classic coming of age story that is very well written, thought-provoking and has very good world-building (I really liked the interplay between the "Ships" and the "colonies"). Unlike some "SF classics" I was never bored with this one and it held my interest throughout. RECOMMENDED!!Winner: Nebula Award Best Science Fiction NovelNominee: Hugo Award Best Science Fiction Novel

I'm not sure why this book has stuck with me so long -- I read it over 20 years ago. But it was one of the most memorable early-Heinlein-era sci-fi stories I ever read. The story is somewhat reminiscent of Heinlein, though the writing is not. The social issues raised in this novel are still compelling, though rather dated now, but I imagine it was even more relevant when it was first published.I really liked the main character, who was quite believable as a rather privileged teenage girl



This brings me up to 89% done with Reading The Nebula Award Winners.I'm really sorry I somehow missed reading this book when I was a kid. I would have loved it when I was a pre-teen. As it was, I liked it, but it's very definitely a coming of age story with an Introduction to Ethics woven in.

This book has most of the things I really enjoy in a book - good story, interesting characters, and things that keep me thinking afterwards. While ship society isn't as richly imagined as I might have hoped, the build up to the Trial, the Trial itself, and the aftermath are carefully orchestrated to leave the reader with much to ponder and discuss. I would love to read this book with a group of adolescents. SPOILER ALERT!!!....................It is interesting to me that, in the final debate

This was simply on my list of Hugo (Nebula?) winners to read. I'd never heard of the book or the author. It was quite a fascinating read, and I really enjoyed the young person first person perspective. I think this would have been powerful to read as a teenager, a lot of thought about growing up and finding your purpose. The titular rite of passage at first I thought would be the Trial that all young people in the Ship society are to make, to survive 30 days being dropped off on a wild colonial

At its core Rite of Passage is a classic coming of age tale. Alex Panshin writes with warmth and pace, and he crafts a story with depth that sets this book apart from many other young adult SFs. It is no surprise that Rite of Passage took home the Nebula. 4/5I couldnt help but write down some thoughts I had while reading Rite of Passage.Trial, the practice of marooning 14 year olds on alien and unfamiliar worlds for 30 days came off as absurd to me. The ritual just doesnt mix with the
