Interesting Story and Engaging, Dec 19 2006
By D. Lynch - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Earthseed (Paperback)
I am so EXCITED that this book is in print again! As a middle school English teacher in 2000, I decided to share Earthseed with my students. Unfortunately the book was out of print at the time, and I was forced to read it to my students with a few copies I was able to salvage from second-hand merchants. My students loved it. My small rag-tag group of copies disappeared... they were taken by "sneaky-eyed" students who were proud non-readers to this point, but who were enchanted by the tale ;) I love the fact that this book engages kids and encourages even non-readers to read. This book was a launching point for many of my students who fell in love with other books, because they discovered this tale. I would strongly recommend this book to any parent, teacher, or librarian who wants to encourage kids to read. If you know a kid who liked: Ender's Game, Feed, The Giver, House of the Scorpion, The Last Book in the Universe, or City of Ember, I can almost guarantee that they will love this story too.

Slow to start but is great at the end., Mar 17 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Earthseed (Paperback)
One of my favorite books ever is "Earthseed", by Pamela Sargent.The book is about a group young adults who were born and raised on a space ship,called Ship.Ship is like their parent and cared for them since they were born.The book opens when they are about 16 years old and soon they will be leaving Ship to settle an uninhibited planet in a far away galaxy.The book goes into detail about all the main characters,including Zoheret,the protaganist.Things start to pick up when they move to a simulated Earth to experience what life will be like on their new homeworld.Soon the groups splits and anarchy breaks out.I don't want to divulge the rest of the plot but after this happens theaction doesn't stop 'till the end.Some scenes are violent and there is also romance in this great Sci-fi book

A Pretty Good Read!, May 5 2003
By Aubrey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Earthseed (Library Binding)
First of all, I am NOT a young adult - as this book is obviously written for. But, as a die-hard Pamela Sargent fan - I had to read "Earthseed". Although the story is more-or-less simplistic - it's still a rather good read - and I would suggest it to anyone (young or old) who enjoys reading Pamela Sargent. Ms. Sargent has a unique and wonderful writting style - and I would advice anyone to read her novels.
Listmania!
