Title: Shadows of forgotten ancestors
Product review: Read this 5 months ago. Yes, it's grown on me to an extent, but not in a good way. Carl Sagan is clearly a clever guy, who knows his evolutionary biology. It's written in sharp, polished prose, which draws in (rather than puts off) the layperson. Having spoken to some of my science friends from university, however, it's clear that his views on extra-terrestrial intelligence are not mainstream. In isolation, that's okay, but you need to offer good quality evidence to back it up. Sagan doesn't really do this, and should therefore be more suggestive.
