这部生态小说很精彩，让我联想起孩提时看过、阅读过的经典科幻作品，那是令我着迷的类型，已存入我的记忆。这部史诗般的小说不仅在讲故事（确实也在讲故事），而且对我们的存在意义提出了质疑。小说是史诗级的。这种质疑是星际穿越或量子物理学的新发现所揭示的，后者实质上既是科学也接近信仰。书中，发掘宇宙图腾，查验天地密码，庞大的法人社团统治一切，爱情绽放，计算机有了意识......还有另一个星球上的土著部落和大自然，为人类的未来再现了地球宝贵的昔日场景。 --英国卫报 如何给青少年讲故事？莫兰就此已证明自己位列最具吸引力作家之列。 --青少年读书网 科幻小说和敌托邦小说爱好者一定会喜欢《蓝雪》。我向青少年推荐这本书，它扣人心弦，有趣又发人深省。 --里特匹克五星书评 就莫兰笔下不强调种族特征的多元化人物塑造而言，本书更上一层楼。《蓝雪》从少年到成人都适合阅读，并有望成为新经典。 --《另类杂志》书评 莫兰的小说从文学角度呈现出与众不同的意识方式。毫无疑问，其审美观亦如政治""魔法""，在感染每位读者的同时,也会改变读者对社会现状和自然现状的认知。在《蓝雪》构建的世界里，法人社团为了巩固统治，所谓工作成了""白忙活""--一个新词，精准定义了让工作者""忙""的功能--忙得无暇反思企业行为对生态的破坏--白忙活将他们囚禁在无法思辨的思想牢笼中。企业逻辑与奴隶制的联系通过在事物名称前加""e""明确下来，如e议会、e哈佛等等。为追逐利润，活着的意义已被社团奴隶制定义，而且污染与奴役齐头并进......应该规定全世界中小学生都读一读这本书。 --南非《邮卫报》，贝特.奥利维博士 我读过的最好图书之一。 --我爱读书网一本回味无穷的书。 --畅所欲言网
