My Opinion

One of my favorite books as a kid that I’ve read over and over; it says a lot about human nature and our instincts. It’s the kind of sci-fi I love: not based around technology or science, but around the people and their reactions to extraordinary events

tl;dr

If you’re expected lasers and space battles, this isn’t the book for you. If you’re looking for a new twist on science fiction and a character-driven plot, you should buy this.
