Customer Reviews
Enjoyable
Not unexpectedly, it has greater depth than the movie.
Thought Provoking
An intriguing novel about how mankind might react to learning it is not alone and what it might do if it received plans to an extraterrestrial gadget. At times overly scientific or meandering, but worthwhile overall.
Lovely Story
I loved how this was written and how realistic this could seem to happen! The take on the numbers having meaning was so cool. The ending was not what I expected!
