Little Fuzzy by H Beam Piper; book review

This is one of my favourite books of all time. I have been re-reading it since the 80's and it never disappoints me. Nominated for the 1963 Hugo Award for Best Novel (according to Wiki) and has some of the most insightful and complex examination of 'intelligence' and 'sapience' in sci-fi or, indeed, in non fiction science.

I've got both Fuzzie books and never read anything from Piper. Sold. Thanks.

I look forward a great deal to hearing your review. I know I am completely biased about this one, so it will be great to hear an evaluation from someone coming to it new.

A glowing review. I have to read this one now. Always like to see these books on the shelves, ill have to get my own set.

Hope you enjoy it - I seem to have talked a lot of people into reading it, so I am a little anxious that they not be disappointed.

He showed his fuzzies to a naturalist? Oh my!!😯😅

Right? that kept the ten year old inside my head amused for ages... That a Piper's obsession with cocktails, highballs and cocktail hour are the few things that really date this book.
