Review: slow read but worth the effort

When I began reading this book, I quickly learned Connor had decided to drop out of societly and live alone sparsely in the middle of nowhere.  There was an UFO theme but whether he was a debunker, a researcher, or just interested in the subject was not clear.  Reading this book is akin to climbing inside someone brain and listening to all the meanderings of a mind who has no one to talk to.  I was on page 30 before I realized he was attempting to contact aliens.  The plot sorta began at chapter 6 still generously sprinkled with mental ramblings.  I will have to admit that it was much like falling in quicksand without being sure I would not sink.  But as the story progressed, so did my interest.  There are pages and pages of technical stuff - above my humble paygrade - and I will have to  admit that I scanned this material without a lot of understanding.  The book gets more and more exciting and inspite of the ramblings and technical material, I was very glad I read it when I finished it.  The first half of the book was a very slow read with some of the last half in the same category, but if you can wade through it, you will be glad you did.
