Angel Gomez lynild02 — Contact by Carl Sagan is one of the better works of science fiction dealing with extra terrestrials. I remember being fascinated reading Sagan's earlier work Cosmos. Flying past the planets of our solar system, a chapter at a time, had excited me as it did the entire world. When I noticed another book by Sagan at the local library, my expectation rose instantly. As I read the back cover and learned that the book touched the topic of extra terrestrials, I had a vague feeling that Sagan would do justice to it. I was tired of the worthless depiction of aliens by popular movies. The best I had liked was Robin Cook's Invasion. Would Contact be even better? Sagan's plot starts at a facility of SETI project Argus. The radio telescopes at Argus — in their attempt to scan the skies for non-random radio sources — hit upon a signal from the star Vega purely by chance. An international consortium is created so that the continuing Message from Vega could be received round the clock. After years of dedicated work, scientists manage to decode the Message: the Message is a manual with the blueprints of a Machine. Despite scores of hurdles and sabotage, the Machine is eventually built. Sagan's description of the eventual tête-à-tête of a selected few humans with the extra terrestrials shines in its elegance and disarming simplicity. For a fiction debut, Contact is not bad at all. The plot is good. Sagan's arguments are balanced. But the thing I liked the most was the way he intertwines religion in the storyline. The only complaint I have about the book has to do with Sagan's writing style; it seems strained, and the effort to add "difficult" words is plainly visible. It is not difficult to see Norman Lewis in the book.

Furgan Murat fmbayrakfd7c — I enjoyed the book but it was written so similar to the cartoon movie that I had a hard time separating them. I actually caught myself singing songs that went with the scene I was reading from the movie.

Sanaa Elkhalfi _anaa_lkh — This book was great. It's a fast read that provides a rare look behind the scenes at the DCCC. In sum: everyone worked very hard to win back the House in 2006. What I most enjoyed about this book though, was that it delved into local and regional political dramas that occurred in Democratic primaries and House races all across the country. Most of these stories weren't covered by the national media and so you'd only know of them if you live close to the district. I like a non-fiction book that both enlightens and entertains, and this one did both.

Isadora Guerrero balnearios — i really couldnt grasp what is the point of this book... also the content doesnt suit me......

Shelbie Thrasher thrashbash24df — I heard a lot of buzz about this book, and while it does have some interest as the sole African-inspired member of the Percy Jackson/Harry Potter "magical kid" genre, I just couldn't get into it. Even after reading the entire book, I never got a sense of who the characters were as people, so their problems didn't engage me. Also, the dramatic final confrontation lacks, well, drama. It seems to come too fast and be over to easily. For other fantasy/sci-fi inspired by African myth, check out: The Eye, The Ear and The Arm (for younger kids, but still awesome) Act of Grace (for adults)

Candela Capitaine candecapitaine — He presents some very thought-provoking ideas, and I thought the end was particularly powerful.
