Title: great book
Review: I read this book after I saw the movie. There were a lot of holes in the plot of the movie, I figured that it's a good idea to find out what's this all about.I finished the book in two days. It's a difficult book, with a lot of technical terms and jargons. But generally, it's a very good sci-fi book which stirs up your imagination. It encourages you to look at the sky at night and ponder about life.I am shocked by Sagan's knowledge about the history and culture of many other countries, like China, India, Nigeria, and former USSR. If you have read his Dragons of Eden, you will find that he knew a lot about evolution, animal behaviors and psychology too.Two problems exist though. He was not very good at dramatizing the important events, like the death of Drumlin, making the flow of story not very exciting. Another one was his use of love at the very end of the book, was that necessary?
Is the review positive or negative?
