fbarros 's review for:

Solaris by Stanisław Lem
4.25

Incredibly cool premise of a creating sentient ocean that takes a look at how humanity perceives that which is unknown and at our incessant thirst for knowledge at all costs. Really enjoyed the wirkd building and (most of) the ramblings. 

Only bumping it down from 5 stars cause it could have been 100 pages shorter and I felt like it diminished men to beings whose only focus is b00bs even in detriment to their survival (clearly a product of its time) . I would also like for some analogies to be left to the reader and not so in your face.
