liked it

I rate books based on my enjoyment and while this was an very interesting take on the whole "alien/first contact" I can't say I had a lot of fun reading it.

I do recommend it if you love that premise and are intrigue about a sentient ocean but it won't be for everyone!

Arkapravo Bhaumik Which translation did you read? You ought to read the one by Bill Johnston.

Welther Women should stick to character-driven books.

Max Great literature inspires thought, but if you read it for fun, Stanisław Lem will not be your favorite author.
I guess Harry Potter got five stars on your hit list. 😉
