Review: An Interesting Concept!

Personally, I like a `not so technical' book, preferring to be entertained without having to enroll in college courses just to get through it. Contact by Albert Sartison delivers this, while providing just enough technical jargon to make it believable without weighing it down.Contact by Albert Sartison was interesting enough to keep me turning the pages; and it may not be grammatically perfect [BTW - there is NO SUCH THING as perfect literature], but Sartison does as good a job as many who skate on their reputations. Sometimes - the imperfections make it great! I would refer you to some of the more noteworthy classics - but discovery is half the fun!!I like Contact and the mystery surrounding the events taking place [and the gaps that leave you hanging - knowing they will probably be explained in subsequent volumes].I love the mysterious aspects of this story, great suspense. It's as if we're on a `road trip' WITH the characters, rather than being dragged through it by them, and I am intrigued with Steve's interactions with his mental sidekick, Clive, and am looking forward to book 2!While I enjoyed the book and the unique concepts it beings to the Sci-Fi table, I'm giving it 4 Stars only because it left me with questions I want answered. Book 2 - you'd better deliver!
