A review by shalot
Contact by Carl Sagan

2.0

I love Carl Sagan’s educational writing and programs, and I was excited when I found out he wrote ‘Contact’. However, this wasn’t the book I was looking for. In my opinion, the book should have ended 50 pages sooner and the last page of the story just made me roll my eyes.

I was hoping the end would make up for the chapters of religious debate and political positioning, but it didn’t. I found this book to be such an unrelenting slog and I’m sad I couldn’t enjoy it even moderately. I kept waiting for the grand reveal that just never showed up.
