This book was quite fantastic. It's not a "human meets alien and leads to explosions" sort of a book but something that makes you think. This is what a real first contact could be like, this is possible. I wonder how we would deal with it. 
 This is a book that makes you think about how alien aliens can really be. How different from our way of life. 
 I suggest everyone read this book, even if you don't like science fiction!
