The Silver Metal Lover is a classic tale of transforming love. It's a keeper, a book that gets reread 'til it falls apart. Fans petitioned to get it reprinted, and after 10 years of waiting, here it is. Oddly, the book is seldom mentioned when Tanith Lee's work is discussed, perhaps because Lee's usual milieu is horror, and The Silver Metal Lover is a poignant romance requiring at least two hankies before the end.
Robots have replaced human labor on earth, causing massive unemployment in a world devastated by pollution and natural disasters. Then Electronic Metals releases a new line: performing artists and sexual companions designed to entertain human partners. Jane, a rich, lonely, and insecure 16-year-old, meets one, the minstrel Silver, and falls passionately in love, despite revulsion at the idea of preferring a mechanical man to a human. She gives up everything she has known for him, and discovers herself. Silver becomes more and more "human" in loving her--a clever illusion created by his programming. Or is it? This unstable society can't afford any evidence that some robots might be indistinguishable from humans. Tragedy is inevitable. Read it and weep--and don't forget to put it on the keeper shelf. --Nona Vero -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch .

This is one of those books that I love to recommend to my friends, yet I have found it a dire problem to explain the story without the usual grunt and raised eyebrow, especially after they hear the title. However, everyone I know who has read it, has loved it. The story is very captivating, and the characters are so real. I identified with Jane to the point where she could have been me! Now that's scary. And her relationship with her mother mirrors my own, as well as my friends, even though our daughter-mother relationships are at a complete opposite!
I believe these are the signs of a well-written story. The fact that a broad scope of people can identify and fall in love with the same characters and story shows that Tanith has captured something remarkable here. Bravo! Take a chance and read it, you will not be disappointed.

The language is beautiful and this book is well thought out and it has the power to make you think and feel. It describes the sudden shifting of adolescent emotions very well, and the author seems to suck you down into Jane's life The beginning, I thought was wrote especially well, where Jane talked about others had selected all of her belongings, and told her what to be. This is also besides being a very tragic story, a story about self actualization, and moving beyond the boundaries of people's expectations to become what you want. The only complaint I had was it seemed to get slow in the middle, but maybe that's just because I usually start to get tired of stories after I've read them for awhile, and there's really not much I can say to critisize a book that is so imaginative and different. Oh yeah, I liked the character of Clovis, I thought he was very interesting and had as much depth as Silver or Jane.

I got this book when I was in junior high school. I've read it so much that the original has some taped pages. Unlike some critics, I believe that Jane is a strong role model for young women, yet realistic in her emotions and her actions. How I wished I could be Jane and own Silver. I think this started my robot fetish in fact.

Wonderful
Tanith Lee has a really strange imagination. All of her books are great and they all have a special flair to them. Silver Metal Lover is one of the best.
