kevin_houston 's review for:

Contact by Carl Sagan
3.5
challenging informative inspiring mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Often held my attention with the primary plot but found myself struggling to focus during some of the more philosophical discussions. The debates around religion and purpose got a little heavy. But I find the concept and story pretty gripping.
