I loved Christopher Pike's horror books as a teenager and never knew that he wrote sci-fi until recently. I have to admit that I'm not a huge fan of the sci-fi genre and I probably wouldn't have read this if it wasn't Christopher Pike. That said, the book was fine. It wasn't really what I was expecting based on the description and I actually read the description again midway through the book because I thought that maybe I was remembering it wrong or I misread it the first time. Like in most sci-fi books, this story is an allegory. There's the humans from Earth, who are advanced and have faster than light travel. Then there are the Karaulians, who are a primitive humanoid race and they have space travel, but not faster than light. Miscommunication and assumptions ensue. This book has a good message: Even if someone is a different color than you or has a different technology level than you, it doesn't mean that their lives are worth less than yours. We're all in this universe together and we should help each other whenever possible. I read this in high school. Yes. In high school. And I still love it. Blame the SF geek in me. Yes, convenient plot devising. Yes, corny romantic interest. Yes, Disney ending. But I enjoyed every last bit of it. LOL. Yes Chris Pike is known for his horror/thriller books. But this is my favourite book of his. HOHO. So there. You can't fight with impressionable-mind-life-stage memories consarned it!! XD! Somewhat terrible, but nevertheless enjoyable. I was lead on by the promise of awesome space adventures made possible by the graviton drive. The cast of characters was almost perfect for this premise. However I was forcibly eased into the backseat of teenage sexual frustration, much like Eric Tirel forcibly eased himself into Vani's lifestyle. Thus I went from feeding off exploration anticipation to passively wondering how Eric and Vani would get along in various stages of the future. I feel kind of bad about it. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
