Well, I actually enjoied her first novel eventhough I
found the politics in it amusing rather than alarming.
 The second novel was rather disappointing on several
levels (poor writing, no story, not enough info on the
languages of the aliens OR LAadan) and the third one .
. . Well can you say LEFT FIELD!  I can't think of
anything by Ionesco that was more absurd!  I mean I
could accept an outbreak of Rhinoceritice long before
I could accept the answer to all the worlds problems
being the discovery that listening to music make you
fat since if one listens to music one need not eat
solid food so all violence can be eliminated by
holding pebbles in ones mouth and listening to Bach.
