Good - rare case of the movie being better. The ending took me a minute to figure out but I guess I liked it?

After reading this book I can't help but feel that for the first time I've experienced real power of imagination. Everything I've read before seems so trivial and diminished in its effects when you bring this book in reference.
Ofcourse, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but in some abstract sense it inspired me too. I don't know how or to what purpose, because space missions are certainly not in my radar right now. This book crosses the regular dimensions of a novel to reach a completely different one.
