If you only read one science fiction book this year, read this one. You'll dig it.

On the other hand, if you read lots of science fiction books this year, this one probably doesn't need to be one of them.

Selena The synopsis reminds me of the movie The Iron Giant.

Joel Iron Giant, Contact, Evangelion, Pacific Rim... It reminds me of a bunch of stuff.

Jenbebookish I'm curious! Why doesn't this need to be one if you read a lot of them??

the plot twists and tropes will be less surprising the more SF you have consumed.

Mir As soon as I read your first statement I surmised the second.

Jennifer The first thing I thought when I read it was Contact meets Power Rangers. :P
