This book is considered a great SciFi classic, but I found it tedious and boring. There was more character development and inner turmoil than in the usual scifi, but in the end I didn't care. I had no interest in the characters by the end of the book, which I feel is a failure of the author. The technology was also very dated and tended to trip me up a bit. This was written at the very beginning of the Space Shuttle program and would have been very interesting at that point, but now it just seems hackneyed and off-putting. There are sequels to this book, but I have no intention of reading them. I would not recommend this book.
