Negative Positive
Title: Brilliant
Review: I actually bought this the day ACC died, and what a legacy this man left behind. This novel actually adresses racial issues. For it's time, I'm impressed with the ethnic diversity represented here. I love a book that gets me thinking, and this is no exception. What happens when an alien race solves all of humanities problems, or so we think? Unless you're getting this book for a short plane ride or a trip to the beach, your money might be better spent getting this as part of a Clarke collection, because it's so short...a mere 212 pages. An interesting fact I didn't realize about this book was the influence it had on the V television series, which I hear is coming back to film or TV after 20 years of obscurity (Part II). This novel is fascinating, keeping in mind this was originally published in 1953.
Is the review positive or negative?
