librarysue 's review for:
The Sparrow
by Mary Doria Russell
A book that I was always intending to read but didn't get to until it turned up as a gift: and what a good gift! Not having been raised Catholic I grumbled about all the mystifying theological ruminations in the first part of the book, but as soon as the plot moved on to the planet Rakhat I was hooked. Think of it as a FAR more sophisticated "Twilight Zone" tale (if you're one of those folks who has watched marathon re-runs of that on New Year's eve, as I have. . .)and prepare yourself for a jolt that will stay with you for a very long time. MUCH to think about with regard to what makes us human -- or not. Well done!
