alanlastufka 's review for:

Solaris by Stanisław Lem

3.5

---

Really interesting story and concepts. A lot of original ideas. But the prose (I know it's a translation) really harms the story. Numerous parts read like a chemistry textbook, sometimes for pages at a time. We get more studies than we do character. I'm still rating it decently high because the abstract of the book is fantastic, however its execution... not so much.
