All alone: an idiot boy, a runaway girl, a severely retarded baby, and twin girls with a vocabulary of two words between them. Yet once they are mysteriously drawn together this collection of misfits becomes something very, very different from the rest of humanity.
This intensely written and moving novel is an extraordinary vision of humanity's next step.

5,0 su 5 stelle Excellent and worth waiting for.
I bought this as soon as it was released for Kindle. I've been waiting for more books by Sturgeon to be available on Kindle for the last year and now it looks like more will be along soon - about time too!
Theodore Sturgeon is one of the finest SF writers of the 20th century. His work is equal to Ray Bradbury or even Kurt Vonnegut. He is a highly skillful writer. This novel, More Than Human is a benchmark in the sci-fi world. It's hard to believe it was written in the middle of the last century as so much of it is absolutely true today.
This is a great book with themes which are very deep and characters which are never fully revealed. A fascinating and absorbing novel - I recommend it to all.
Incidentally, there are one or two spelling mistakes/transcription errors in the Kindle version. Nothing that disrupted my reading or caused me much irritation, but they are present nonetheless. A good editor should have corrected these few errors before now.

4,0 su 5 stelle Sci-fi at its most original
Don't be fooled into thinking this book will be dated. It may have been written decades ago but it is ageless & original.

5,0 su 5 stelle My first sci fi Book.
The quality of the book is subpar. I thought I received a pirated copy initially. But after doing some search I cam to know Orion's paperback aren't of that great quality. They could highly improve the quality of their books.
Content or story of the book is awesome. This may not seem ground breaking or intriguing today but given it was published in 1953. we can safely say it's a great story.
It is about evolution of humans mentally. No aliens or anything. Just humans and their evolution. Some parts are vague and sometimes you don't know what's happening but in the end everything falls into place. The book is worth reading. It's just 233 pages.
This was my first sci-fi book and I am looking forward to read more in this genre.

PerseusRecensito in Germania il 4 febbraio 2009
5,0 su 5 stelle Der nächste Schritt in der Evolution des Menschen?
Sturgeon beschreibt in "More than Human" ein Wesen, das der nächste Schritt in unserer Entwicklung sein soll: Ein "Metamensch", der sich aus verschiedenen Menschen zusammensetzt, die jeweils ein klares Aufgabengebiet haben, darunter das "Gehirn", die "Hände" etc. (es ist schwierig, dies zu erklären, ohne den Plot vorwegzunehmen).
Ausgehend von diesem "Homo Gestalt" erkundet Sturgeon, was den Menschen ausmacht: Welche moralischen Verpflichtungen haben wir gegenüber uns und unseren Mitmenschen? Ist das Gewissen ein Hindernis für unsere Entwicklung oder ein integraler Bestandteil von uns? Wie könnte eine Weiterentwicklung des Menschen aussehen? Welche Pflichten erwachsen daraus?
Fazit: "More than Human" ist ein sehr philosophischer Roman, der, wenn am ehesten als "harte" Science-Fiction klassifiziert werden kann. Eine Empfehlung auch für Leute, die sonst eher zu anderen Genres greifen.

5,0 su 5 stelle Great novel, heaps of typos
This is a fantastic novel, but this edition is full of jarring typos, often involving b’s and h’s.
When “hear” becomes “bear”, it can make sentences hard to comprehend and that “wait, what?” thing gets rather annoying after the third or fourth time.
Anyway, I survived. Hope the editors up their game.
