A review by juliewr423
Contact by Carl Sagan

slow-paced

3.5

I think if you like sci-fi this is a must. I'm particular so here's my major beef: it took 10/14 hours of audio book just to build the damn thing.

then they spent maybe one chapter "making contact" so to speak only to come back and no one believes them? I was also confused about the aside about the Gilgamesh.

I like so much that the main character is a female scientist and even the fictional president of the USA is a woman. However. I think the scene setting could have been done in half the time IMO. Also felt like the twist ending was unnecessary
