I don’t usually write reviews, but there at only 4 at the time of writing this so here it goes:

I thought that the concept of the book was really interesting. It was a solid four stars for me for a long time. The characters were interesting and I thought it was a rather progressive book for the time period it was written(1955). There was a female main character who was acknowledged not for her beauty but for her brains(yay). However. The scientific concepts were not enough. The characters were not enough. The story felt underdeveloped. It felt like the rough draft and not the finished thing. I couldn’t enjoy it as though it was a sci-fi, it reads more like a scientific textbook.
