a great read and brilliant book!

Literal garbage. Some classics should no longer be considered so. This made me promise myself to not read another book written by a man for the rest of the year. Prison for life


Now, that was interesting.

It's a fascinating combination of what happens inside the MC, and the science of Solaris.
It's quite heavy of science, so if you don't like scientific theories of things that don't exist - or that we don't yet know exist - then you won't like this book.
I was a little bothered by the mindset of the characters that doesn't quite match mine. On the other hand, isn't that one reason why we read? :-D
Now I'm going to watch the two movies made of this book. I can think the movie makers had their own ideas about this.

Psihološko-filozofski roman u kojem se ne događa apsolutno ništa, ali ideja života van našeg solarnog sustava je zapravo vrlo zanimljiva! I baš zbog te ideje romanu ide veći rating.

Relectura. He disfrutado más que la primera vez. Y la primera vez ya me gustó mucho.

Sci-fi at its chilling, mysterious best. An original, creative and tense exploration of our relationship with space travel and the possibility of contact with another species.
